Japan and India have already announced tighter measures as China finally reopens its borders.
American officials say this is due to a lack of transparency surrounding the virus in China, as cases surge.
"There are mounting concerns in the international community on the ongoing Covid-19 surges in China and the lack of transparent data, including viral genomic sequence data," US officials said in a statement quoted by news agencies. Mr Wang called for "joint efforts to ensure safe cross-border travel, maintain stability of global industrial supply chains and promote economic recovery and growth".
