WRAPUP 4-China suspends short-term visas for S.Korea visitors in spat over COVID curbs
China's embassy in Seoul said on Tuesday it has stopped issuing short-term visas for visitors from South Korea, the first retaliatory move against countries imposing COVID-19 curbs on travellers from China, where the virus is spreading unchecked. China reopened its borders on Sunday after three years of isolation, removing the last major restriction that was part of a "zero-COVID" regime which it abruptly began dismantling in early December after historic protests against the curbs.
