Beijing to stop issuing individual travel permits to Taiwan

China will stop issuing individual travel permits for its people to visit Taiwan from August 1. Previously, residents from 47 Chinese cities could apply for permits to visit Taiwan on their own, instead of visiting on group tours. That leeway has now been revoked. China's latest move might be a blow to Taiwan's tourism sector, and it comes as Taiwan prepares to hold presidential elections in January 2020.
