Beijing denounces exchange limits by Taiwan authority

Beijing denounced on Thursday the Taiwan authority's revised regulation that further restricts exchanges between the Chinese mainland and the island.

Visitors from the Chinese mainland who once served in posts of the Communist Party of China, or the military, can be denied entry, and permits already issued to them can be revoked, under a revised regulation on entry to Taiwan published by the Taiwan authority earlier this month, according to media reports in Taiwan.

The regulation also said "sensitive" applicants from the mainland - sensitive because of their identities or travel plans - will be subject to additional scrutiny before being allowed to visit.
