In a revealing report, the government of United States is working on a plan to ban visa for members of Chinese Communist Party and their families. This is a significant move towards directly challenging the Communist Party as the relationship between the two countries have soured with the developments in the recent past.
A presidential order in the formation by the team of Donald Trump administration is going to ban entry into US for members of the Chinese Communist Party and their families. Such a move would solidify the move from Trump administration against China and encourage rest of the world to stand strongly against it.
According to the sources of New York Times, the Trump administration is considering a sweeping ban on travel to the United States by members of the Chinese Communist Party and their families, saying the move that would almost certainly prompt retaliation against Americans seeking to enter or remain in China and exacerbate tensions between the two nations. In fact there is around 92 million member of the communist party.
“The presidential proclamation, still in draft form, could also authorize the United States government to revoke the visas of party members and their families who are already in the country, leading to their expulsion. Some proposed language is also aimed at limiting travel to the United States by members of the People’s Liberation Army and executives at state-owned enterprises, though many of them are likely to also be party members.” the report added.
United States recently announced the imposition of entry bans on some Chinese officials. The move is a part of implementing the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Law passed by the US president in 2018. The demand for reciprocity in terms of access into Tibet by the US has never been recognised by China leading to this outcome.
