In a refreshing twist for global travelers, spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized at a recent briefing that "closed exclusivity is not an option for China". The Chinese mainland is moving ahead with its high-level opening-up strategy, making travel and business interactions smoother than ever before.
Currently, the Chinese mainland provides unilateral visa exemption for 47 countries and transit visa exemption for 55 countries. Efforts are also underway to streamline visa processes—offering one-stop entry services and instant tax refunds for goods purchased before departure. As Mao noted, "Foreign friends' China tour has become smoother," highlighting China’s commitment to easier access.
This proactive approach not only boosts tourism but also strengthens economic and cultural exchanges worldwide. While some regions implement stricter travel policies, China is catering to the global community by sharing opportunities and working towards a shared future with all. It's like opening the ultimate global party invitation! 🎉
