japan and the united states, and now required to show a negative clover test. drove vann york and regrettably a few countries, still disregard science and facts and their own covered situation. they are imposing discriminated, entry, restrictions on china. china firmly reject these and will take reciprocal measures . we call and relevant countries which are bestier, measures, effect and science. and to take proportionate measures. katrina, you is life for us in beijing and katrina helping an issue is this likely to become and how many people could affect these count matches will no doubt have an impact on all parties involved to south korea and japan. china is the biggest trading partner, many south free and, and john and japanese businesses have operation here on china. we will not be able to come and attend to in person, and that will no doubt them. and for china also, both countries are significant trading partners. the 4th and 5th largest,

respectively, and these also a very popular destination for chinese travelers. now, the reason why china has his back in this way is for the south korea and japan has among the strictest measures against chinese travelers coming into the countries. so both chinese travelers must test the coven, 1900. before boarding the flight, they must test for the virus on arrival. and if they are positive, they must quarantined to 7 days their own expense. and both governments have also off the line limits. planes coming into the countries from china. now the background of all of this is that there is a growing list of countries, at least more than a dozen who i've impose some sort of restrictions on chinese travelers because of a current covered 1900 outbreak here. the w h. i was trying to, it's under representing the impact of the outbreak and urged aging to provide more accurate data regarding hospitalization, deaths, and strains of the virus. beijing demise that it's withholding any information

despite continuing to release suspiciously low figures when it comes to the outbreak here. and ultimately, this news is this movie aging, sending a message. there's a very famous saying here in china that to scare a monkey, you must kill a chicken. and this is a warning using south korea and japan as an exam. as example, a relatively small and weak countries to send warning to other countries that currently have measured posing chinese travelers. although i was thinking about doing the same. okay, thank you. this katrina you for us in beijing. we're going to go to eunice kim, who is and so, and what's been the reaction and south korea yes, this news is being taken quite seriously. as you can imagine. it 1st came in a social media message, a posted by the beijing embassy here in sol at we are learning about it late this.

there is a tuesday as cited instruction from beijing to suspend a short term visa, issuances effective immediately. it also said that it could be adjusted based on south korea's cancellation of what it called discriminatory entry restrictions against china. now it does appear on 1st glance that beijing's restrictions would extend a step further as south korea's restrictions on short term visas is on non essential travel, beijing's described restrict as do also apply to business travel as katrina noted, as well as medical travel. as far as we know, south korea is the only country that has implemented a suspension on short term visas from mainland china. travelers on non essential travel. we did hear from japan earlier today that it would extend an existing requirement for a negative co test to board off that already exists for

a mainlanders to those coming from the chinese territory of macau. nonetheless, we are hearing um from tokyo also codo news reporting, citing travel groups there that the beijing has also informed them that this visa suspension would apply to would be travelers japan. so this is very much still a very developing situation. this announcement coming basically a week after the spokesperson from china's foreign ministry had warrant of reciprocal measures, say that beijing is firmly opposed to the a politicization of the current pandemic epidemic situation. incidentally, this announcement also coming on the heels of a 50 minute phone call that was held between the foreign minister of south korea as

well as the new incoming foreign minister of china, chin gong, who apparently had expressed concern about souls restrictive measures. south korea's foreign minister of poxy in underlining that the country's quarantine measures are based on scientific evidence. and in a brief thing to day, the ministry also reiterated that it would continue to press that message through diplomatic, as well as non diplomatic channels. okay, thank you. so much that soonest come for us, and so at least 17 people have been killed in peru in the latest demonstrations demanding the resignation of president dana below our town. security forces confronted crowds as they tried to overrun an airport. in the southern city of uli aka arianna sanchez has more from lima ah, security forces confront protesters in the southern region of who knew it? over men says nearly 9000 demonstrators using homemade weapons and explosives. try
