BEIJING, China – China says it has lifted a 20-year travel ban that barred people with HIV and AIDS from entering the country.
China’s Cabinet, the State Council, said in a statement posted to its website late Tuesday that the government passed the new amendment to the Border Quarantine Law on April 19.
The revised law comes just days ahead of the opening of the Shanghai Expo, which expects to see millions of visitors from overseas.
