China will temporarily exempt citizens of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia from needing visas to visit the world's second-largest economy in a bid to give a boost to post-pandemic tourism.

    Sure, China’s got a lot of really cool stuff about it that would be awesome to see. But with the wealth of other countries around the world not operating as full on dictatorships, I’m gonna hard pass on visiting until they sort their shit out (so probably never)

    I like how they’ve suddenly realized that they’ve made a bad name for themselves around the world by being righteous dickheads so all of a sudden they’re softening their rhetoric and expecting everyone to buy it.

    The fact that this comment I’ve made alone might be grounds for arrest there is all that needs saying about it.

      Als deutscher Staatsbürger kann ich fast überall ohne Visa einreisen. Warum sollte ich freiwillig ins chinesische dystopia fliegen?

        Um der erste zu sein, der eine exotische Lungenerkrankung nach Europa einschleppt?
