Nothing on BBC and nothing on France24 which are usually pretty up to date on this stuff.
It was just in, so I assume the English souces will follow soon.

When I pick something in German I quick-check with Google and the usual British and American e-papers if there is an English article on it as wel, preferrably on page 1. But I do not spend an hour with it... If I do not find something within 5 min utes, I give the German source.
Another Germa source:

FAZ reports that since three weeks no multiple visa are given anymore, a German tourist company was told in a letter from the Chinese embassy - but the official emblem on the Chinese embassy on the top of the official letter-paper had been covered by the Chinese. For business people, the Viasa restrictions already have caused international anger, especially in Asia. There seem to be some confusion, writes the FAZ, about the banning of foreign students - it is possible that they had not gotten the order in writing, but verbally only.
