China is rolling out the welcome mat for international travelers and businesses, vowing to keep breaking down barriers in an era of rising global tensions. 🛂 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning announced Friday that the country will expand its high-level opening-up policies, declaring: "Closed exclusivity is not an option for China."
With 47 countries now enjoying unilateral visa exemptions and 55 benefiting from transit visa waivers, China's streamlining its entry process like a tech startup optimizing its app. 💼 New one-stop services and instant tax refunds for departing shoppers aim to make visits as smooth as scrolling TikTok. "Foreign friends' China tour has become smoother," Mao noted with a nod to digital-age convenience.
"We'll continue sharing opportunities and creating a shared future with all countries," Mao emphasized, swiping left on protectionism.
This push comes as other nations tighten visa rules, making China's stance stand out like a viral dance trend. From simplified paperwork to strengthened global supply chains, Beijing's message is clear: the Great Wall is becoming a bridge. 🌉
