China will impose visa restrictions on U.S. citizens who have engaged in what it called egregious behaviour over Tibet, in apparent retaliation against U.S restrictions on some Chinese officials.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian on Wednesday told newsmen that Beijing would allow no foreign interference in Tibetan affairs.
