Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference on April 16. Some reporters asked questions. We noticed that cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries have continued to be exciting since the beginning of the year. Including Oscar celebrities and American influencers, more and more foreign friends are coming to China to “travel to China.” Last weekend, the Osaka World Expo opened, and the China Pavilion made a stunning appearance. The antique design and modern technological achievements attracted many people to line up to visit. China is becoming more and more attractive to foreigners. What comments does the speaker have on this? Lin Jian said that according to the latest data, the number of foreigners entering various ports in the first three months of this year was 9.215 million, an increase of 40.2% over the same period last year. This is inseparable from the various visa-free policies implemented by China, which provide foreign tourists with a longer stay and a wider range of activities. It is also inseparable from continuously simplifying the visa process to China and introducing convenient measures such as “buy and refund” for departure tax refunds, making “China tours” more and more smooth.
