The State Department says it will require all American-based Chinese officials to notify the U.S. of any meetings with state and local governments and educational or research institutions.
The State Department announced that it will require all American-based Chinese officials to notify the U.S. of any meetings with state and local governments and educational or research institutions.
"What we're trying to accomplish here is just to get closer to a reciprocal situation, hopefully with the desired end effect of having the Chinese government provide greater access to our diplomats in China," they added. The official denied this was tied to any recent event, including trade talks or sanctions over China's crackdown on Uighurs and other Muslim ethnic minorities in its western province Xinjiang.
The Chinese embassy called the decision a"violation of the Vienna Convention," which dictates how countries treat each other's diplomatic missions and personnel.
