US President Donald Trump’s administration has issued new rules to limit visit the us by members of China’s ruling Communist Party (CCP) and their families. According to a State Department spokesman, the new policy, which took immediate effect, limits the utmost duration of travel visas for party members and their families to at least one month from 10 years.
Previously,
party members, like other Chinese citizens, could obtain visitor visas
for the US that were valid for up to 10 years. Travel visas for party
members also will be limited to one entry instead of multiple entries as was possible before.
The
spokesperson said, this is in keeping with our ongoing policy,
regulatory, and law-enforcement action across the US Government to
protect our nation from the CCP's malign influence. Under the US
Immigration and Nationality Act, the Department of State has the
authority to limit visa validity of groups of people hostile to US values, the spokesperson added.
