Travel restrictions on Chinese arrivals are politically motivated, says China

The Chinese government has suggested that travel restrictions imposed by several countries on Chinese arrivals are politically motivated, warning that it may retaliate.

The US, India and the UK are among the nations that have introduced mandatory testing for arrivals from China.

The country has recently seen a surge in Covid cases following the easing of its strict controls.

Spokeswoman Mao Ning said the government was "firmly opposed to attempts to manipulate the epidemic prevention and control measures for political purposes, and will take corresponding measures."
