China calls South Korea's COVID test requirements 'discriminatory'
중국, "한국의 코로나 검사 제출 의무 ‘차별적'"


By Jack Lau

Beijing stopped issuing short-term visas for South Korean nationals on Tuesday, just days after South Korea imposed stricter COVID-19 measures on travelers from China.
중국이 우리 정부가 중국발 입국자 코로나 방역 강화를 한 지 며칠 만인 화요일 한국인에 대한 단기비자 발급을 중단했다.


"The Chinese embassy and consulates in South Korea will suspend the issuance of short-term visas to China for South Korean citizens for visits, business, travel, medical purposes, transit and general private matters," the Chinese embassy in Seoul said Tuesday in a statement on social media platform WeChat.
주한중국대사관은 화요일 사회관계망서비스(SNS) 위챗 계정을 통해 "주한중국대사관 및 총영사관은 방문, 상업무역, 관광, 의료, 국경 통과 및 일반 개인 사정을 포함한 한국 국민 중국 방문 단기비자 발급을 중단한다"고 밝혔다.


"The measures above will be adjusted, depending on the cancellation of South Korea's discriminatory entry restrictions on China."
"상기 사항은 한국의 중국에 대한 차별적인 입국 제한 조치 취소 상황에 따라 조정할 예정이다."


Since Jan. 5, South Korea has required travelers from China to submit COVID test results before and after their flights. Those who tested positive after their flight will be quarantined. The country also limited the number of short-term visas issued to visitors from China and banned additional flights.
지난 5일부터 한국은 중국발 입국자에 대한 입국 전후 코로나 검사 결과 제출을 의무화했다. 검사 결과 양성일 경우 입국 후 격리 조치된다. 한국은 또한 중국발 입국자에 대한 단기비자 발급 수를 제한하고 항공편 추가 증편 역시 금지했다.


The measures will be reviewed at the end of February, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).
질병관리청(KDCA)에 따르면 이러한 조치들은 2월 말에 재검토될 예정이다.


South Korea introduced stricter measures as did other countries, including Australia, India, Canada and the United States, imposing fresh entry restrictions on travelers from China following the spike of COVID patients in the country.
우리 정부는 중국 내 코로나 감염자 급증 이후 호주, 인도, 캐나다, 미국 등과 마찬가지로 방역을 한층 강화해 중국발 입국자에 대한 입국 규제를 새롭게 부과했다.


The Chinese government has been opaque about its COVID-19 data, making it difficult to assess infection risks travelers from the country might bring.
중국 정부는 자국 내 코로나19 현황 자료를 투명하게 공개하지 않아 중국발 방문객이 가져올 수 있는 감염 위험 추측을 어렵게 했다.


On Friday, the KDCA said it had strengthened surveillance of cases from China.
금요일 질병관리청은 중국발 입국 확진자에 대한 감시를 강화하겠다고 밝혔다.


China's new foreign minister Qin Gang told his South Korean counterpart in a Monday phone call that he expressed concern over South Korea's entry restrictions.
친강 중국 신임 외교부장은 월요일 전화 통화에서 한국의 박진 외교부 장관에게 중국발 입국자에 대한 한국의 방역 강화 조치에 대해 유감을 표명했다.


"I hope that the South Korean side would uphold an objective and scientific attitude," Qin was quoted by the Chinese foreign ministry as saying.
중국 외교부는 "한국이 객관적이고 과학적인 방역 조치를 준수하기를 바란다"고 말했다.


South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin said in the call that the measures were imposed based on scientific grounds, according to a readout from the South Korean foreign ministry.
한국 외교부의 자료에 의하면 박진 한국 외교부 장관은 전화 통화에서 우리나라의 조치가 과학적 근거에 입각했다는 점을 설명했다.


During a regular policy briefing, Lim Soo-suk, a foreign ministry spokesman, said South Korea will strengthen communication with China through diplomatic channels regarding the visa issue.
임수석 외교부 대변인은 정례브리핑에서 한국이 외교채널을 통해 비자 문제와 관련해 중국과의 소통을 강화할 것이라고 밝혔다.


"South Korea will send its message to China again and work closely with the country (to resolve the problem)," Lim told reporters.
임 대변인은 기자들에게 "한국은 우리 정부의 입장을 다시 한번 중국 측에 전달하면서 (문제 해결을 위해) 긴밀히 소통해나갈 것"이라고 말했다.


China stopped publishing its daily COVID-19 case tallies in late December. However, reports of a widespread outbreak in the most populous country in the world have stoked fears that new variants of the virus might emerge.
중국 정부는 지난해 12월 말 이후 코로나19 신규 확진자 통계 발표를 중단했다. 그러나 세계 최대 인구 보유국 중국에서의 만연한 코로나 감염 소식은 신규 변이 바이러스가 나타날지도 모른다는 공포를 부추겼다.


China's zero-COVID policy, which has been in place for nearly three years, ensured that the Chinese population was not as impacted by the more deadly alpha and delta variants. But the stringent measures of citywide lockdowns and mass testing also made sure that the population did not develop herd immunity through infection.
3년 간 시행된 중국의 ‘제로 코로나' 정책은 중국 인구가 더 치명적인 알파와 델타 변이의 영향을 받지 않도록 했다. 그러나 동시에 도시 전체 봉쇄라는 엄격한 조치와 대규모 검사는 중국 인구가 감염을 통한 집단 면역을 기를 기회를 박탈했다.
