BEIJING—China warned on May 11 that it will take countermeasures in response to a U.S. decision to tighten visa terms for Chinese journalists.

The United States last week issued a new rule limiting visas for Chinese reporters to a 90-day period, with the option for extension, that takes effect on Monday. Such visas are typically open-ended and do not need to be extended, unless the employee moves to a different company or medium.
