日本宣布针对自中国赴日旅客措施，外交部回应

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Tuesday that Japan will strengthen border control steps against travelers from China. Japan will require travelers from the Chinese mainland to take tests for COVID-19 upon arrival, starting from Friday, Kishida told reporters, Japanese media reported.

In response to Japan's move, Wang Wenbin, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said at Tuesday's press briefing that since COVID-19 began three years ago, the Chinese government has refined the response measures by keeping them science-based, targeted and responsive to the evolving situation and has effectively coordinated COVID response with economic and social development, contributing significantly to global solidarity against the pandemic and world economic recovery.

"The current COVID situation in the world continues to call for a science-based response approach and joint effort to ensure safe cross-border travel, keep global industrial and supply chains sable, and restore world economic growth. We’ve always believed that for all countries, COVID response measures need to be science-based and proportionate without affecting normal people-to-people exchange," Wang said.
