There are about 20 countries around the world that have imposed entry restrictions on Chinese travelers, which can be divided into three categories: complete restrictions, providing proof of arrival and providing pre-departure certificates.
The first category of countries that completely restrict the entry of Chinese tourists is Monaco and North Korea. North Korea is not just restricting the entry of Chinese tourists, but all countries. Morocco's policy logic of completely restricting the entry of Chinese tourists, even those who have traveled to China, is really strange.
The second category of countries that require proof of entry for Chinese travelers are South Korea, Japan, India, Italy and the Philippines. The biggest impact of the entry restrictions on Chinese tourists is South Korea and Japan. Objectively, very few Chinese tourists go to Monaco, but tens of millions of tourists enter South Korea and Japan every year. This time, South Korea and Japan danced with the United States and restricted the entry of Chinese tourists, which has become the "first bird" for China to fight back.
The third group of countries that require a pre-departure certificate is the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Qatar, Spain, South Africa, Myanmar, Laos, Singapore. Five Eyes countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia only have pre-departure certificates for Chinese tourists, while Japan and South Korea require landing certificates. It has to be said that the relationship between Japan and South Korea and the United States is far from good. The "Anglo-Saxon" countries are the brothers of the United States, and Japan and South Korea are just "little brothers" following behind.
In addition, many countries have officially welcomed Chinese tourists into the country, such as Thailand, Singapore, Denmark, Malaysia, Serbia, Poland and so on. Among them, Thailand became the big winner, with about 20% of Chinese outbound tourists pouring into the country. In this regard, Thailand said that it hopes to have 5 million Chinese tourists in 2023. To sum up, embracing China's development can also drive its own development; Listening to the words of the United States and doing things with China, it is Japan and South Korea themselves who suffer.
