China on Monday urged the United States to protect visa applicants' privacy and provide them with due facilitation under law.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a new U.S. visa policy.
According to media report, the U.S. State Department will require all nations to provide extensive data to help vet visa applicants and determine whether a traveler poses a terrorist threat. Countries that fail to comply with the new protocols could face travel sanctions.
