The Chinese government issued a notice on the 27th, which will optimize the measures for the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel from January 8, 2023. Major adjustments such as the orderly resumption of outbound travel by Chinese citizens.
When interviewed by reporters from China News Agency, experts in related fields explained in detail the triple benefits brought about by the measures to optimize the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel from the perspectives of economic and trade exchanges, cultural exchanges, and mutual recognition.
Talking about this adjustment, Zhang Tengjun, deputy director of the Asia-Pacific Institute of the China Institute of International Studies, said that we must first observe its background, that is, on the basis of China's overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development and achieving major positive results, it will minimize the number of The impact of the epidemic on economic and social development is an important goal and task for the next stage.
In this context, optimizing the measures for the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel is to promote economic and social exchanges while minimizing the impact of the epidemic.
"This kind of exchange is not only at the domestic level, but also at the level between China and foreign countries." Zhang Tengjun said.
Le Taowen, executive director of the China Overseas Friendship Association, co-chairman of the American Association of Overseas Chinese Scholars, and tenured professor at Weber State University, also said that this is a major milestone in the epidemic prevention and control policy since the implementation of strict Class A prevention and control measures in China in early 2020. The adjustment is a scientific and prudent adjustment made by China to objectively review the new situation of the epidemic development and insist on the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life under the new situation. It fully reflects the excellent comprehensive management capabilities of the Chinese government.
The interviewed experts pointed out that optimizing the measures for the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel will bring great convenience to foreigners coming to China, Chinese citizens going abroad, and overseas Chinese returning to visit their relatives.
In Zhang Tengjun's view, the relevant measures of this adjustment are clearly directional.
For example, the more complicated procedures such as applying for health codes and nucleic acid testing have been reduced, and the convenience for foreign personnel to come to China has been provided to the greatest extent.
This direct adjustment means that next year may usher in a peak of foreign personnel coming to China.
"Next year there will be a better environment, and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries may usher in a new trend of vigorous development."
Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy and director of the data center of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, said that the optimization of measures for the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel is undoubtedly a major benefit to China's entry and exit market.
People coming to China only need to have a negative nucleic acid test 48 hours before departure, and normal control will soon resume.
This is also the direction that the Chinese government has been striving for.
For example, in accordance with changes in the global epidemic situation and prevention and control requirements, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has adjusted the circuit breaker measures several times, relaxed the circuit breaker threshold, and shortened the circuit breaker cycle; The time has been adjusted from "14+7" to "7+3", and nucleic acid detection measures have been simplified.
At the same time, the domestic epidemic situation in China is still in the stage of rapid rise, and the relevant entry and exit personnel therefore maintain a certain degree of caution.
Dai Bin also said that there is a process of expected control and confidence release, which is expected to take about a quarter.
"Overall, 2023 is a stage of steady and even rapid recovery of the inbound and outbound tourism market, but it is unlikely to fully recover to the level before the epidemic in the short term."
Dai Bin believes that hard demands such as business travel, study tours, and visiting relatives and friends are expected to recover first, while sightseeing, leisure vacations, and group travel depend to a certain extent on the release of policies.
Tourism administrative departments should release relevant policies as soon as possible, and resume group tourism and "air ticket + hotel" business in a scientific and pragmatic manner, forming stable market expectations.
"This process shouldn't be very long."
A meeting is worth a thousand emails.
The measures for the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel introduced this time also mentioned that they will provide corresponding visa convenience for foreigners who come to China for resumption of work, production, business, etc.
This has also released major positive information for Sino-foreign economic and trade exchanges.
"Many people abroad are more concerned about promoting the resumption of business personnel exchanges as soon as possible." Zhang Tengjun pointed out that China's exchanges with the world are mainly reflected in the business level.
With the optimization and adjustment of the measures for the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel, the epidemic restrictions on Sino-foreign business exchanges will continue to decrease, which will greatly increase the enthusiasm of foreign parties to come to China and inject new momentum into China's foreign trade after the epidemic.
Le Taowen also believes that China has a huge high-quality market and is a favorite investment destination for investors from all over the world.
The convenient exchange of business personnel is not only beneficial to China's economic and trade development, but also beneficial to foreign companies and foreign businessmen from all over the world who intend to invest in China and develop trade with China, and also conducive to consolidating China's position in the world's industrial chain.
The interim measures for the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel will be implemented on January 8, 2023.
Zhang Tengjun noticed that the Spring Festival holiday is about to enter in January. Chinese studying and living abroad hope to return to China, and many overseas Chinese also hope to return to China to visit relatives.
The optimization of measures for Chinese and foreign personnel exchanges from the beginning of January is a corresponding adjustment made at such an important time node as the Spring Festival. "It is a correct decision made after proper weighing and careful consideration."
"In Chinese culture, family affection is priceless, and family happiness is an important pursuit of people." Le Taowen also pointed out that after the release of relevant information, overseas Chinese can be described as "running around to tell each other", and the news quickly circulated in major overseas Chinese WeChat groups. diffusion.
The promulgation of measures to optimize the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel is of great significance to unite the centripetal force of the vast number of overseas Chinese.
The friendship between the two countries lies in the friendship between the people.
Whether it is between people or countries, interaction is crucial to building friendship and mutual understanding.
"In the future, with the implementation of measures to optimize personnel exchanges between China and foreign countries, opportunities for offline exchanges between China and foreign countries will be greatly increased, which will help promote mutual understanding among the people and enhance mutual understanding." Zhang Tengjun said.
Le Taowen also mentioned that the most effective communication is face-to-face communication.
China's positive measures to optimize the measures for personnel exchanges between China and foreign countries will not only provide more opportunities for people around the world to further understand China, understand the Chinese people, and experience Chinese culture, but will also more effectively enhance China's attraction to talents from all over the world. The international community will be happy See China implementing such a policy move.
