China News Service, November 12th. Yin Chengji, deputy director of the National Immigration Administration, said on the 12th that the National Immigration Administration strictly controls unnecessary cross-border activities for foreigners.
Strictly examine and approve applications for entry-exit documents for non-essential reasons such as travel by Chinese citizens, and discourage and restrict non-essential and non-urgently-needed entry and exit activities such as travel, visiting relatives, and friends of mainland residents.
On November 12, the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on strengthening the prevention and control of the winter epidemic and the in-depth development of the patriotic health campaign. The Deputy Director of the Immigration Bureau Yin Chengji made the above statement at the meeting.
Yin Chengji pointed out that strengthening port border control is an important part of foreign import prevention. The national immigration management agency earnestly performed its duties, especially the immigration police at the front line of the port border overcame the risk of infection and made great efforts for foreign import prevention. Inspections at ports and borders require passing passengers to take off their masks, and the risk of infection is relatively high.
The National Immigration Administration should not only do a good job in foreign defense import work, but also pay attention to the health of the immigration police on duty.
Yin Chengji said that according to the recent international epidemic situation, the National Immigration Administration has made foreign defense import the top priority of its current work, combined with the seasonal characteristics of the borders at winter ports, and continued to strengthen immigration management measures, mainly reflected in the "four strict "on.
One is to strictly control port passages.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, 46 land ports and 66 border crossings have been closed, and guarding has been strengthened to strictly prevent foreign personnel from bypassing the border and avoiding the entry of the border, and strictly restricting the passage of people at the still operating land ports and border crossings. Only the cargo movement function is reserved.
The second is to strictly control cross-border activities of unnecessary personnel.
Continue to suspend entry of foreigners with some valid visas and residence permits, continue to suspend port visas and regional visa-free policies.
Strictly examine and approve applications for entry-exit documents for non-essential reasons such as travel by Chinese citizens, and discourage and restrict non-essential and non-urgently-needed entry and exit activities such as travel, visiting relatives, and friends of mainland residents.
The third is to strictly manage the passage of people and vehicles in border areas.
In the early stage, a mechanism of "five in one" of the party, government, army, police and civilians was established to strengthen the frontier defense.
On this basis, according to the development of overseas epidemics, we will further sort out the weak points and high-risk periods of border control, and adjust and add borders on the basis that the previous prevention and control points are not reduced, the strength is not weakened, and the strength is not reduced. Check sites, optimize the layout of border control forces, increase inspections of people and vehicles entering and leaving the border area, and make every effort to prevent foreigners from entering the country illegally.
The fourth is to severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities in entry and exit. Illegal entry and exit is a crime that hinders the country and its borders. Since the beginning of this year, more than 700 cases of smuggling into China by people from neighboring countries have been investigated, and more than 5,000 foreigners who entered illegally have been investigated and dealt with, effectively preventing the epidemic from passing illegal entry.
