U.S. Tightens Visa Rules for Chinese Communist Party Members - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

新的指导方针意味着，如果国务院能弄清他们的身份，中国9200万党员的旅行签证将被限制为一个月一次入境。
川普政府周三发布了新的规定，以减少中共成员及其直系亲属前往美国的旅行，此举肯定会进一步加剧两国之间的紧张关系。
两名知情人士说，这项新政策立即生效，将党员及其家人的旅行签证的最长有效期限制为一个月一次。国务院发言人在一封电子邮件声明中说，正在将对党员的签证有效期从10年缩短至一个月。
以前，党员和其他中国公民一样，可以获得长达10年的赴美签证。其中一位知情人士补充说，新措施不会影响党员获得其他种类签证的资格，例如移民。
原则上，政策变化可能会影响大约2.7亿人的旅行-中国大约有9200万共产党员-尽管实际上，可能很难确定除了高官以外，谁属于该党。新的签证规定加深了两国之间在贸易，技术及其他方面的长达多年的冲突。

U.S. Tightens Visa Rules for Chinese Communist Party Members
Dec. 3, 2020, 1:06 a.m. ET
New guidelines mean that travel visas for China’s 92 million party members will be limited to one month, single entry — if the State Department can figure out who they are.
The Trump administration on Wednesday issued new rules to curtail travel to the United States by members of the Chinese Communist Party and their immediate families, a move certain to further exacerbate tensions between the two countries.
The new policy, which took immediate effect, limits the maximum validity of travel visas for party members and their families to one month and a single entry, according to two people familiar with the matter. A State Department spokesman said in an emailed statement it was reducing the validity of visas for party members from 10 years to one month.
Previously, party members, like other Chinese citizens, could obtain visitor visas for the United States of up to 10 years in duration. The new measures do not affect party members’ eligibility for other kinds of visas, such as immigration, one of the people added.
In principle, the policy change could affect the travel of roughly 270 million people — China has about 92 million Communist Party members — though in practice, it might be difficult to determine who, apart from high-level officials, belongs to the party. The new visa rules add to the now yearslong conflict between the two countries on trade, technology and much else.
