US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced earlier that senior Chinese diplomats in the US will have to require Department of State approval before visiting universities, meeting with local officials, and hosting cultural events with an audience larger than 50 people outside of mission properties.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday that it has imposed restrictions on the staff of US embassies and consulates in mainland China and Hong Kong, in response to the same actions from Washington.
At the same time, the ministry hasn’t specified the exact measures.
Last week, Washington said it would require senior Chinese diplomats to get State Department approval before visiting university campuses or holding cultural events with more than 50 people outside mission grounds.
Commenting on the measures, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed that the move was a response to the barriers, created by the Chinese authorities for US diplomats for years.
