NASHVILLE—The U.S. government plans to shorten the length of visas issued to some Chinese citizens as part of a strategy to prevent intellectual property theft by U.S. rivals, a White House official said on May 29.
The U.S. State Department will implement measures from June 11 to “enhance security for some Chinese visa applicants,” the official said.
