visa-free, 04.30-09.01.21

So safety and security may make way when China really needs high-quality specialists (including models, engrish teachers, and 白猴子). Even Chinese vaccine isn't a requirement if I understand everything right.
p.s. and just in case, Ukraine isn't the only exception.

p.s.s. and yes, this works in a funny way: models can come. But, say, Ukrainian students can't, because of the way the visa system works.

You know Google translation exists.

The article you linked clearly states Ukraine is offering visa free travel to Chinese tourists. It says nothing about Ukrainians being exempted from any covid measures if they go to China.

Covid is not a particularly dangerous virus. It's probably on par with other human coronaviruses, adenoviruses, rhinoviruses.

That's just like your opinion, bro. Do you have scientific literature that says COVID is "on par with other human coronaviruses, adenoviruses, rhinoviruses"?

China should stop making a fuss about it and concentrate on infrastructure and economy. The coming competition with the US will be intense and China should be get side tracked.

Make a fuss? China is vaccinating everyone to achieve herd immunity. Getting the population vaccinated is part of revitalization of economy and global competition.

You act like China can just ignore COVID and focus on economy. See right-wing populist strongmen like Trump, Bolsanaro, Modi, how that turned out for them. (Hint: It wasn't pretty).

To think humanity can beat covid is fantasy. Covid is RNA virus which mutates quickly to render vaccines useless. Annual booster shots are required just like for flu which is still around after arriving on the scene in 1918.

By the way, I need to correct you there. The flu did not just arrive on the scene in 1918. That was the Spanish flu, caused by a variant of the flu virus . Flu has existed with humans a long long time, probably even before human civilization started

Your personal opinion on medical and scientific matters don't mean jack s..t in the face of overwhelming evidence that the virus is deadly and dangerous for any country to pretend and act otherwise you'll get India.

Or simply don't bother testing at all. These covid tests are highly inaccurate and have a hard time distinguishing between covid and other human coronaviruses. False positive rate is also very high.

Begone science denying Trump believer.

It also states that Ukrainians can come to China, visa-free.
This is actually quite a lot - because most others(from most of the world) can't, in principle, no matter the procedures. Vaccinated, from countries with a much better situation - doesn't matter.

The irony here is that it isn't even for the most valuable specialists - those can come from anywhere anyway through 邀请函 procedure.
This is for "normal" workers and simple business exchanges - including those whom I mentioned in the post above.

I am in the middle of this situation, so am kinda up to date. ;p

The last comment that 100 million doses have already been administered is highly illuminating. Considering this was the last of the big 4 vaccines to have been rought online, this is a rather high number. The ZF2001 trials have been rolled out slower than sinovac/sinopharm, so could be indicating stronger than expected efficacy. I'm curious as to efficacy of FZ2001, since it seems to be holding up better against the variants.

Where in the article you linked does it state that Ukrainians can go to China visa free?

Also, visa is irrelevant to covid measures. Everyone entering China must undergo the necessary quarantine. Your claim that China selectively supplies covid measures is completely unsubstantiated.

ok, my bad, haven't checked what I linked, just sent it blindly.

Business visas are being issued right now, more or less normally, though.
Visa-free is only being discussed. (for other countries where it is in place, like Belarus, it's actually still active).

Not really. Depends on a country.
