Chinaโs borders are buzzing like a K-pop concert! ๐
From January to August 2025, over 460 million entries and exits were recorded at Chinese ports โ a 14.9% jump compared to 2024. The National Immigration Administration (NIA) dropped these stats at the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum, proving wanderlust is VERY real.
Whoโs on the move? ๐
- 220M: Chinese mainland residents (+15.4%)
- 180M: Travelers from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan (+11.2%)
- 51.27M: Foreign nationals (+27.8%!) with 15.89M using visa-free entry ๐
Visa-free entries alone spiked 52.1% โ looks like Chinaโs open-door policy is hitting different! ๐ชโจ

Over 24.48M vehicles crossed borders, including 662K flights (+17.1%) and 23.45M motor vehicles. Even ships and trains saw upticks โ no FOMO here! ๐ข๐
