A U.S. congressman reprimanded the Chinese regime for using “visa blackmail,” after it denied visas to a bipartisan American congressional delegation because they had planned a trip to Taiwan.
“Chinese officials told members of my staff on multiple occasions that if I canceled the trip to Taiwan, I would be granted a visa,” Rep. Sean Maloney (D-N.Y.) wrote in an Oct. 13 op-ed titled Beijing Tries To Bully Congress on The Wall Street Journal.
