Since December 1, China has implemented a 15 day unilateral visa free policy for ordinary passport holders in six countries, namely France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia. During the interview in Germany, our reporter learned that many European people believe that this has provided great convenience for people from all walks of life to visit and exchange in China.
On December 1, the reporter saw a long queue at the check-in counter of the flights to China at the Frankfurt Airport in Germany. Many passengers thought that China's unilateral visa free policy had brought convenience to their travel.
Thierry, a French tourist: This is a great way to open the door for more people to see. You can also experience China in two weeks. This policy will encourage people to travel to China, which is a good thing.
German tourist Moore: I think this is a positive gesture, indicating that this country is opening to the outside world. It is very convenient for tourists to visit China, even if it is a short transit.
Eisenhardt is a graduate student studying Chinese politics at the University of Frankfurt, Germany. In the past 20 years, he has traveled to China for business or sightseeing more than ten times.
Eisenhardt, a graduate student of Frankfurt University: If there is a seminar or a short-term intensive Chinese course in China, I can easily attend it. The same is true for academics. If I need to do some on-site investigation and communicate with Chinese scholars and students, the visa free policy will make it easier.
