Vietnam’s trade ministry has asked China’s Guangxi authorities to take urgent measures to ease congestion at border crossings after China stepped up its border controls with neighbours to follow zero COVID-19 policies. State-run Vietnam News Agency says Anti-virus prevention measures that Guangxi is applying under the ‘zero COVID’ policies, including closing border gates or stopping fruit imports, are over necessary. Guangxi trade officials said they would increase the duration of customs clearance and pass along other proposals to higher authorities.
