Money talks: after suspending visas to Japanese travellers after Japan strengthened COVID-19 border controls for travelers from China, the Chinese Embassy in Japan resumed issuing visas to Japanese nationals on Sunday.
Paywall alert:
Investment by Japanese companies is essential for China's economic recovery," a source close to the Chinese government said. "The resumption of issuance after the Lunar New Year, when business activity in China resumes in earnest, came into view." […] A Japanese trading house executive stationed in China said: "In China, business takes off after the Lunar New Year, and we are relieved that the reopening is timed to coincide with this. The Chinese government's desire to encourage cooperation between Japanese and Chinese companies is apparent."
