The United States announced on Friday that it will continue to deny visas to Chinese officials due to their involvement in human rights abuses in Xinjiang, Tibet, and other regions.
This decision comes despite recent efforts to ease tensions between the US and China.
The State Department did not disclose the names or number of individuals affected by the ban, but stated that it aims to hold China accountable for human rights violations.
The US calls on China to uphold its commitments to human rights and address concerns raised by the UN regarding the treatment of its citizens.
