China to Reopen Borders to Boost Tourism and Trade
TL;DR Summary
China will resume issuing all categories of visas to foreign tourists for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began, as the country seeks to normalize two-way travel. However, the tourist industry does not expect a significant boost to the economy, and unfavourable views of China among western democracies may deter visitors. China has also added 40 countries to its list for which group tours are allowed, bringing the total to 60, but Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the US are still excluded.
