Bill requires visas for all Chinese visitors to U.S.
This bill makes all people from China, including Hong Kong and Macau, get a visa to enter the U.S. It stops programs that let some Chinese visitors enter without a visa, like those for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. So, people from these areas will need to apply for a visa, just like most other visitors.
Currently, some nationals of China, including those from Hong Kong and Macau, can enter the United States without a visa through certain programs, like the one for Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Department of Homeland Security uses government money to support these visa-free entries. If this bill becomes law, all nationals of China, Hong Kong, and Macau would be required to have a valid visa to enter the U.S., and no government funds could be used for visa-free entry programs for them.
