This is strongly related to a policy: 72/144-hour visa-free transit in some cities of China, currently, the scope of countries eligible for China’s 72/144-hour visa-free transit policy has been expanded to 54 countries. Foreign nationals can transit through the relevant cities to a third country (region) without a visa for up to 72 or 144 hours, as long as they hold valid international travel documents and a confirmed interline ticket with a designated date and seat within a limited time. During the stay, they can engage in short-term activities such as tourism and temporary business visits within the designated area.

Among them, Shanghai has many international flight routes, relatively cheap airfares, and is eligible for the 144-hour visa-free transit policy, which basically makes it the first stop for these bloggers coming to China.

For many years, China’s international image has inevitably been “translated” by some Western media with monopoly broadcasting rights, not to mention the misunderstandings and smears, which have made many ordinary people abroad more alienated, resistant, or even fearful of China, putting China’s international exchanges and cooperation at a disadvantage and in a passive position.

In today’s era of advanced social media, letting ordinary foreigners visit China in person, to see what the real Shanghai escorts China is like through the eyes of an individual, is an easier to accept and more persuasive way for foreigners. In a sense, this is also a good form of people-to-people diplomacy. Many foreigners who have come to China through the visa-free policy are actually stepping on this land for the first time. For them, this is a journey full of unknowns. As a foreign guy said, “I don’t know what surprises there will be, but I’m excited.” This sense of novelty experienced in the process of active exploration is precisely the essence of cultural exchange.

Today, with the Internet so developed, one person’s experience can quickly be shared from one to ten, ten to a hundred, making more foreigners willing to come to China to have a look. A Japanese tourist said that after coming to China, what impressed him the most was the cheapness of goods, the delicious food, spacious hotels, and cheap taxis, which encouraged his Japanese friends to come to China as well.

In the past, there were not a few people on foreign social media platforms like YouTube who held a negative attitude towards China. Now, searching foreign platforms reveals that most foreigners have changed their attitudes towards China for the better after taking the opportunity to travel to China with the visa-free policy.

The most critical thing is still to be open.

According to data from the Shanghai Bureau of Statistics, in February this year, the number of international tourist arrivals reached 347,000, an increase of 299.1% over the same period last year. No wonder walking on the streets of Shanghai, it feels like there are indeed many more foreign tourists with large backpacks.

Of course, on the domestic Internet, there are also some voices of doubt. For example, when the unilateral visa exemption was first introduced, some people said it was a “compromise” by China; others said, if they don’t want to play with you, why bother to warmly approach them? There are also doubts about the transit visa exemption: is it too pleasing and accommodating to foreigners?

It’s worth looking at the issue from another angle. In today’s globalized economy, no country can be an island. Openness leads to exchange, and exchange enhances understanding. On the soil of understanding and mutual learning, seeds of opportunity and cooperation will sprout. This will certainly have a positive impact.

Moreover, when foreigners come, they will also discover some problems from new perspectives, and even have some “complaints,” which is a good thing and should not be too sensitive. This can help or even compel relevant departments to improve their work and enhance China’s international image.

For example, the problem of payment difficulties for foreigners, which was once a common complaint, has recently seen several measures introduced by the relevant national departments, including ensuring cash payments. In the face of criticism, if there is room for improvement, improve; if not, strive harder. Be more proactive, increase the degree of convenience for entry, and clear more policy and systemic bottlenecks, allowing the world to understand the real, comprehensive, and amiable China at a lower cost.

Time will prove that China still maintains its amazing charm.
