We are not an agent or recruiter, but a headhunter !
Chinese Embassies, including in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea, updated the
requirements for boarding China-bound flights, will will
take effect on January 17.
Chinese embassies said in statements on Sunday that travelers to China must take nucleic acid tests within 48 hours before their departure, and those who show negative results will be allowed to come to China. The airlines will be responsible for checking negative PCR test results.
In the statement, the embassies also said that passengers entering China from Japan and South Korea should complete the necessary customs clearance procedures after arriving at the port with the health declaration code. Those who have a normal health declaration and no abnormalities in the routine hygienic inspection at the port can enter the country.
However, people with abnormal health declarations or symptoms such as fever will be tested by the customs for nucleic acid. Those who test positive should be quarantined or seek medical treatment in accordance with the requirements of the notice. Passengers have also been reminded to strictly observe all epidemic prevention and control regulations, including wearing masks and taking good personal protection, on board and upon arrival in China, read the statement.
The statements said the requirement is
in response to the interim measures for travel between China and other
countries after the optimization of COVID management released by the
Chinese government on December 27, 2022.
From January 8, 2023,
China reopened its borders after the government downgraded the
management level of COVID-19 from Class A to Class B, and meanwhile
reopened its borders after three years of the pandemic.
China
earlier suspended issuing short-term visas for South Korean and
Japanese citizens seeking to enter China for visit, business, tourism,
medical treatment, transit or other personal affairs, with the new
adjustment taking effect starting January 10, Chinese embassies in South
Korea and Japan said in the statements.
The decision will be reassessed once the two countries remove their
discriminatory travel restrictions targeting travelers from China, the
statement said.
The US, Japan and South Korea are among the
countries that announced restrictions on travelers from China, citing
concerns that the current surge of COVID-19 cases in China could lead to
the emergence of new variants.
China again calls on countries to
base their COVID response measures on science and not to resort to
political manipulation or discriminatory measures, Chinese Foreign
Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on January 10 commenting on
whether the country will take countermeasures against other countries
after China suspended the issuing of short-term visas to South Korean
citizens.
China takes reciprocal countermeasures and urges relevant countries to
take appropriate measures based on science and facts and to stop
political manipulation and discriminatory measures, in order not to
affect normal people-to-people exchanges, said Wang.
