They think, being American, they are above local Laws.. Just like the US Govt demanding that citizens in other countries obey US Laws, ceven when they are in their own country, otherwise.... gangsterism strikes again.
@@dlf4298 What's new. Americans think they are above the Law of every other country in the world. Americans commit crimes, like running drugs in other countries and the US govt would bail them out. Read all the cases of American athletes and entertainers commiting all sorts of crimes getting bailed out by the US govt.
Such a big joke, the law got approved by Chinese people? And also TikTok global version don’t want to abide Chinese law either? Why every country use the same version but China only got a sole version? 😂
I'm a Malaysian, and this is a good news to me! ps: To be exact I'm Malaysian Chinese, which basically means accessing the Internet and communication there won't be a problem to me.
Welcome to China!歡迎 I’m not sure if you know the application called Little red book(小紅書）which is a kind of Chinese community it’s just like a Chinese Instagram . Many people send vlog or plog there . The members include people from Hong Kong Taiwan, Macau, Malaysia, Philippine and Singapore who can read Chinese. It’s a really great app and obviously can using China. If your family and friends also use this app, you don’t need to worried about connecting with them without VPN🎉🎉 because VPN always cost money like 3 pound a month
I was just in Shanghai last month, I found out that I didn’t need a VPN to access Google, WhatsApp, Facebook… by using data roaming provided by my home service provider. It was true for my friends also who flew in from Japan. Another friend who has been to China many times never used a VPN, she didn’t even know what it is.
Yes! I've been thinking about traveling to China for a few years now, I'm even learning Mandarin (currently HSK2) and the visa exemption does help me since I am from Spain. I just hope it will be extended, because I'm still in med school and it will be a while before I can pay myself a trip :( Much love to you and Yvonne 🙌
Thank you for this update. This is a really good news. The world is opening up again. I also hope that these payment services and buying tickets will work a bit easier for foreigeners. :-)
@@TripBitten Alipay works better than WeChat pay now for foreigners. I can pay almost everything with Alipay and even things like deposits at hotels and actually be refunded on the Alipay at the end of my stay. I connected the AliPay with my credit cards and they get charged every time I buy something. Some merchants are not supported, but by adding a TourCard you can pay the rest also. When I travel to China, I use WeChat pay only for the paying for the metro and the train. WeChat pay is set up in a similar way to Alipay, but is accepted by much fewer merchants.
I am from Germany and I am planning to come to China next September (Beijing, Chongqing, Guilin). But unfortunately I will stay longer than 15 days, so I will need a Visa. Would be great to occasionally meet you guys :D
If you are going to be there for longer than 15 days, I suggest go to Yunnan and Xinjiang as well, one of the few border provinces that have diverse ethnicities, loads of beautiful diverse natural landscapes that would not disappoint. For accommodation, not all hotels/hostels accept foreigners, but if you go on Ctrip to book, you'd be given indication which are the ones that take in foreigners. Normally international hotels you can't go wrong. Beijing, Chongqing, Guilin together you don't need more than 15 days, typically 10-12days should suffice.
Not a problem at all. At the end of the visa free period, take a flight to Seoul or Hongkong (depending on whether you're in the northern or southern part of China), enjoy a couple of days of great food and then enter China again for another 15 days of visa free travel. There is also the alternative of the new high speed rail to Laos. See the real China. Enjoy.
It can be a game changer, let's see if tour operators, in France for instance, seize this opportunity to promote the destinarion. As a business traveler, it's such a weight lifted from our shoulders!
The continuous optimization of the visa-free policy will also encourage more foreigners to come to China for business, work, study and life, promote economic, trade and cultural cooperation, and promote the transnational flow of various factors.
I spent a few months in China, taking the high-speed train between cities. It feels like playing in a giant wonderland. Every day is an adventure. I really miss China's safety, freedom, convenience, magnificent scenery and diverse culture.
It's very simple. You can first think about which aspect of China you want to visit. If you are interested in history, you can consider traveling to Xi'an or Nanjing. If you are interested in science and technology, you can visit Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen. If you are interested in the scenery, Dalian, Guilin, Suzhou and so on are all beautiful. If you are interested in the national characteristics , you can also visit Yunnan or Xinjiang. China is very big, and it is difficult to see all of it in one trip, but each place has its own characteristics. You can choose your favorite city according to your favorite travel style or eating habits. If there is anything you want to know, you can ask me at any time. It's an honor to answer for you.❤
Visa exemption will be more effective in promoting personnel exchanges and foreign investment. It will also bring a higher level and higher efficiency of freedom and convenience to activities such as trade in goods and services, transportation, data and information exchanges.
The implementation of the visa free policy in ancient China promotes better exchanges between countries, and China's transportation is also convenient, allowing for better enjoyment of Chinese cuisine
There are unique landforms (Yangshuo, Zhangjiajie, Huangshan, Tibet, Xinjiang...) and cultural sites with a history of 5,000 years. There is the Great Wall,
I took my kid to China this year for 5 month. we are on Tmobile plan, so we were able to use everything on the phone. but I do need vpn on my laptop computer.
Back in July 2023, Singapore and Brunei were the first 2 countries that got visa-free entry into China. And now France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia will enjoy the same visa-free treatment starting December 1st. In reciprocation, Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim also announced visa-free permit to all Chinese citizens wishing to visit Malaysia from December 1st as well. It is considered a wise move by China to more foreigners, particularly citizens from Western countries, to come and see for themselves instead of China spending lots of resources fighting propaganda of its backwardness, with people starving with nothing to eat and rampant crimes that threaten its social fabric. Hopefully, the program will be expanded in the near future to include even more countries from other parts of the world. It is also noteworthy that China will host the first ever International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing, Nov. 28 to Dec. 2, to connect various sectors of businesses to expand trade and investment. This is a countermeasure to the U.S.-sponsored Indo-Pacific Economic Framework to restrict its participants to engage in trade with the Chinese nation. It will be interesting to see how business people around the globe will choose which platform to maximize their bottom lines.
How to stay for more than 15 days? Easy ! China is in close proximity to or directly borders 2 dozens countries/regions. On day 14 , go to any of these places, say South Korea, Thailand, or Japan for a coffee at airport, an hour later back again to China. Bom, another 15 days at customs! 😁 or perhaps just go to Hongkong for a day?
@@TripBitten But there is no guarantee re-entering China after the first time will be successful or allowed. 15-day tourist visa is designed for tourists quickly visiting just a few places.
China has such a good visa free policy that you don't need to apply for a transit visa to transit through China. Transportation is also very convenient. I hope more people come to China for tourism
correction: foreigners using cellphones from abroad can access Google or Facebook etc without any interruption unless your foreign cellphone carrier doesn’t allow you
@@Anonymous------alot of unqualified expat English teacher had to leave China recently, we can expect more turncoat-serpentza wannabe in next couple of month. Came across another expat channel, Teacher M#k#, he is leaving to U.S and start soft-approach fake agenda on his channel. This is the exact problem when too much foreigner come, stay and when they have to leave, they start a mess.
Apparently they are, for the moment, not the ones that are more equal than others. One would reckon it could be because their languages are less challenging than, say, deutsch, espanol, francais, italiano, nederlands and bahasa melayu.
@@TripBitten China has to be selective, not to have foreigners not leaving after they find life is much safer, better and affordable than their home countries.
I’m wondering if you have a video discussing how we should deal with money there… like I cash still useful and how should we prepare payment methods/apps? Thanks so much in advance!
China is the country with the richest tourism resources in the world, with deserts, glaciers, the highest mountains in the world, and tropical islands.
with the crazy arse new PM of the Netherlands and his crazy policies wouldn't this be reversed for them?. As an Aussie i would love it for Australian passport holders it would make my life much easier.
If 15 days policy goes well, after a while it will probably be extended. It’s what china does all the time, testing the idea and then implementing it in a wider or longer range if the test result turns out to be good.
Why is Canada not on the list? No travel agents are listing China as a travel destination in Canada. A few years ago there were travel ads everywhere for going to China.
3 months visa are actually not that hard to get, but a bit paper work. Otherwise you can leave after 15 days, travel through another conuntry and then come back for a second 15-day trip.
It is recommended that after entering China without a visa, you should apply for and submit a travel plan to the immigration bureau of a large city in China (such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Chengdu, etc.) 7 days before the expiration of your stay, and after 7 working days of approval, you can issue a 30-day travel visa.
Yes, by the time you get there, Google, FB, RU-vid won't work. I read one of the comments that said, "Google and FB are not banned in China, they refused to abide by China's law" *IT'S THE SAME THING!!* *That means Google, FB and RU-vid won't work there!*
I am German, I know I can travel to China and stay there for up to 15 days. I've red, that I can stay in Hainan for up to 30 days. So I wonder if I can visit my relatives in Guangzhou for two weeks and then travel to Hainan and stay there for a week? Would that be possible?
I'm not sure about that, but if you are in the Guangzhou area, you could spend a day or two in Hong Kong and than continue to Hainan. Shouldn't be a problem if you visit HK in between, but look into it more before planning your trip.
I m planning go to china without a visa in june. It will be my first time. Really is it just buy the ticket and arrive, and at the airport they will stamp your passport if you meet requirements?? I am a bit scared hehe i m from spain
China should make it visa free for all countries especially Americans. Don't play the visa reciprocal game with them - China has beauties to show others may not. Make it easier for the common folks to see China beyond the propagandas, showcase what is possible when a government look after its people.
I'm poor I would have to get a loan from China and I have to eat clean food I eat roast chicken everyday play some rice I would have to use Google to speak as you can see in my sentence even Google has a hard time understanding what I say
I'm planning to get MM2H in future. I know there is bank deposit, how much need? Mostly, I'm worried about salary requirements, how much need for monthly income? How many month salary slip need? Only bank deposit is required? Or also need salary slip as well? Dependent need additional how much for bank deposit? No need salary right? Are there other requirements need for apply? Is it easy or hard to get if me and my husband open company and apply in future? What documents need for apply? How do you get MM2H? Also if my husband open small company, can he apply dependent visa for me? What kind of visa my husband get? What documents we both need? How much minimum capital need for open small company? No need to hire local Malaysian or shareholder or secretary if small? Please answer my questions that would be helpful
@@funchannel387 Sure. We have had the MM2h for almost 8 years now. Some of the info I can provide you may already know. First and foremost Malaysia is really 3 fairly independent States; Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. What most don't know is Each State has their own version of the MM2H, with different requirements. As you may also know, the Peninsular Malaysia MM2h was drastically revised a few years ago, and honestly is no longer attractive as minimum deposits/investments/requirements, etc. were increased substantially. However, Sabah and Sarawak MM2H allow the holder to live anywhere in Malaysia, including Peninsular Malaysia. Our MM2H is based in Sarawak, as at the time, it required the lowest bank deposit (about $21,000 USD) with minimum other requirements. We wound up purchasing a condo in Johor (JB), across from Singapore. Both the Sabah and Sarawak MM2H programs have also been modified, and today the Sarawak deposit is 150,000RM ($32,000USD) for an individual, and twice that for a couple. Sabah has a deposit requirement of 200,000MR ($43,000 USD) Peninsular Malaysia was the same (150,000RM) but now has been increased to 1 Million RM ($215,000 USD). There are age restrictions, dependent stuff, processing fees, etc. for all of these MM2H Visa's. Also, I now think for both Sabah and Sarawak, you may also need to purchase a residence with a minimum value of like $15,000 USD (Sabah)/$128,000 USD (Sarawak), and that may be partially deducted from the fixed deposit, but I'm not sure. In terms of working or running a business, that too is possible, but a long process to get approved - I wouldn't count on it. If you have an existing business or other income like retirement or rental income from your home country that you can prove, they like that. All of the above info should be VERIFIED (try to find an authorized agent -or best to TRAVEL to Sarawak/Sabah yourself and seek direct info), as the MM2H has been a total Mess in the past few years. My personal opinion: The original MM2H was great! Our time in SE Asia traveling, based out of JB was a joy prior to the pandemic. But We will probably not renew our MM2H because of the uncertainty and now the total lack of trust in the Malaysian government. I would strongly suggest Vietnam or Indonesia or Thailand (or Singapore if you have $10M USD laying around) for long-term Visa/residency.
Before I use china passport for enter china, but now I changed to Canada passport. China embassy told me don't use china passport again, if I want to travel to china, do I need to cancel China passport and I'd card, hukou everything when enter china? How to cancel and what documents need? I really don't want to, I not have any documents all lose, I don't know what to do. Or my china nationality is automatically cancelled Already? Also Canada passport need to apply tourist evisa if travel to china? What documents need? How many month can travel? Or is it visa free for how many month? Also how to get my birth certificate in china, I'm born in big city? Where to get and what documents need? I'm not able to travel to china, this has been problem for me.I can't get birth certificate too. If somebody knows the answer it would be helpful.
I wish I have an answer for you. You best bet may be contact the hospital you were born in, or the municipality to help you with that. About your nationality, chances are once you enter with a foreign passport, you are no longer their citizen, unless you have the travel card from Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan where these places are very privileged to my understanding and China, so far still let them holds more than one nationality.
You need to get one before arriving in China, but some commentors are saying your local provider might allow roaming that let's you access those sites. I would check with your provider first, but having a VPN will guarantee access when in China.
Happens once in China and its a major international incident while its common daily practice in the US and does not have a hope in hell of reaching the news.
allways have visa free travel in the whole world. but also comes from the great country of Denmark. we allways have visa free travel.. we have the stronges passport in the world because Danes know how to behave properly. but yes, if it wasn't free Visa-free travel, we wouldn't come and they wouldn't have our Architects and knowledge either..
I'm going to China in December. I bought the plane tickets and this news arrived the next day 😂 Which is great because I stay less than 15 days anyway so I won't need a visa 👌
@@TripBitten I came back last Friday and it was amazing as always. It's interesting because it was the third time I visited my wife's hometown, which used to be the most polluted city in China some years ago. I've been there in 2016, 2019-2020 and 2023-2024 so I can see the evolution. And the evolution is just insane. In 2016 the air was really bad at this time of the year (I could literally smell it and see it), but now there is absolutely zero air pollution and we had a wonderful blue sky for the whole time we were there. In a few years they managed to completely eradicate air pollution, it's impressive. Besides the visa not being required anymore, I've also noticed that I didn't need to use a VPN anymore (just used my service provider's roaming plan and it worked like a charm just as if I was in Europe with full access to the internet). And I thought I would have some difficulties with my Alipay and Wechat accounts not being connected to a chinese bank card but on the contrary it worked perfectly well (instantaneous) with my european card, so finally no problem at all. Also, I was shocked to see that now all taxis in Beijing are electric cars. Even in my wife's hometown it was full of electric cars everywhere. They move forward so fast.
The implementation of the visa free policy in ancient China promotes better exchanges between countries, and China's transportation is also convenient, allowing for better enjoyment of Chinese cuisine
Chinese visas are an absolute pain invented by people who unironically enjoy watching paint dry. The entire hassle of being a non-citizen in China, too, for that matter. There's a prominent Chinese-American economist by the name of Yukon Huang who offers the no-nonsense analysis that China's economy could grow by ~3% more if they would just stop with the self-induced meddling. Let the Chinese visa process stand testament to this notion.
