The list was not released in the past two weeks because no country has lifted the restrictions altogether.
Updated again today as Malta lifted all entry restrictions on 25 July.
In July, not many countries were newly opened to the outside world. At present, almost most of the whole of Europe is fully open, leaving only France, the Netherlands, Spain, Luxembourg, Andorra (located between France and Spain, France and Spain open it open), Monaco, Russia and Ukraine, and Germany still maintains restrictions on Chinese citizens.
It is worth noting that from 11:59 p.m. on July 31 (equivalent to August 1), New Zealand will be fully open, but this opening will not completely remove entry restrictions, and will still maintain some restrictions, but only allow entry. From 1 August, all visa categories in New Zealand, including tourist, visitor and student visas, will reopen for travellers from anywhere in the world to apply.
Elsewhere, we see that the Americas, Africa and Asia have recently added almost all of the countries that have removed entry restrictions.
In addition, there are small partners who plan to go to Kazakhstan, but also feedback a message, in response to Kazakhstan to China visa-free matter called the Kazakh Embassy in China for consultation, the embassy replied: as long as there is no labor relations, there is no salary, to Kazakhstan is the air ticket, passport and nucleic acid certificate can be, 14 days later to leave. Therefore, visa-free countries can travel, but remember the relevant regulations on Chinese outbound, such as this article "National Immigration Administration | this week Will continue to adjust and optimize the entry and exit management measures to fully protect the necessary entry and exit needs of the masses", mentioned in the border inspection side, the border inspection side will check whether the visa is consistent with the reason for leaving the country, and in addition, it is necessary to provide relevant certification materials related to the reason for leaving the country. In addition, although Kazakhstan has completely abolished the entry restrictions, the embassy also mentioned the need to prepare a "nucleic acid certificate", so there are small partners who intend to travel, even if the country that completely cancels the entry restrictions, if it is convenient to prepare a negative certificate of nucleic acid in Chinese and English, it is also recommended to prepare, especially for the current flight, the airport will also have relevant nucleic acid regulations.

The removal of COVID-19 entry restrictions means:
- A vaccine certificate is not required
- Nucleic acid testing for COVID-19 is not required (before departure and after arrival)

Many netizens have questions, similar to the United States, can not be entered? This is true, but as mentioned above, this list counts countries that have lifted all entry restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the United States currently requires vaccinations to enter the country, so the United States is considered a country with "entry restrictions" and is not included in this list.
So if you want to list the countries that can enter, including the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Israel, etc., it is very much. These countries still have some entry restrictions, which allow them to enter as long as they meet their entry requirements.
In addition, as advanced above, Germany has also lifted all COVID-19-related entry restrictions, but because of the EU's "reciprocity principle", restrictions on Chinese citizens are still maintained, so they are not included in the list.
This list is also for reference only and does not constitute travel advice!
At present, the mainland still encourages non-essential and non-transnational travel, and the actual travel should be subject to the relevant entry and exit policies of the country.
