The Trump administration has placed restrictions on the ability of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members and their families to travel to the United States.

The State Department has revised its policy to reduce the maximum duration of stay for CCP members and their immediate families who hold B1/B2 visitor visas—to one month from 10 years, a department official said in a Dec. 3 statement.
