US officials are preparing to impose visa sanctions on China in response to the migrant issue. The move is part of broader diplomatic tensions between the two nations. The sanctions could affect thousands of Chinese citizens' ability to travel to the United States.

US officials have indicated that visa sanctions against China are a potential response to the migrant crisis, which has intensified diplomatic friction between the two countries.
