With the increasing national strength of China, more and more countries have implemented visa-free policies for China, and China is gradually opening up its doors to provide convenience for more foreigners. Recently, China** announced that it will try out a visa-free policy for France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia, which has attracted widespread attention and discussion. So, is this good news or bad news for China?
First of all, from an economic point of view, the implementation of the visa-free policy will undoubtedly bring more foreign tourists to China, which in turn will stimulate the boom in tourism. As one of China's pillar industries, tourism has maintained rapid growth in the past few years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of domestic tourists in China reached 60 in 20190.6 billion people, tourism revenue reached 573 trillion yuan. With the implementation of the visa-free policy, more foreign tourists will pour into China, driving the further development of the tourism industry. In addition, the visa-free policy will also help attract more foreign investment into China and promote China's economic development.
Secondly, from the perspective of cultural exchanges, the implementation of the visa-free policy will help strengthen cultural exchanges between China and other countries. With the deepening of globalization, cultural exchanges play an increasingly important role in international relations. Through tourism, study abroad, cultural exchanges, etc., Chinese people can better understand the world, and the world can better understand China. The implementation of the visa-free policy will help improve China's soft power in the international arena and enhance China's international status.
However, the implementation of the visa-free policy has also brought certain negative effects. First of all, the visa-free policy may lead to a certain degree of law and order problems. With the increase in foreign tourists, some criminals may take advantage of the visa-free policy to enter China to engage in illegal activities. Therefore, while implementing the visa-free policy, China** also needs to strengthen the supervision of foreign tourists to ensure the stability of social security.
Second, the visa-free policy could put pressure on China's job market. With the increase in foreign tourists, the demand for tourism, catering, hospitality, and other industries will also increase, which may lead to increased competition for jobs in these industries.
Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of talents in these industries and improve the employment competitiveness of workers.
Finally, the visa-free policy could increase China's environmental burden. As the number of foreign tourists increases, so will the demand for the environment and resources. In the current situation of increasing tension of environmental resources, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of environmental resources to ensure sustainable development.
To sum up, China's trial implementation of the visa-free policy for France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia has both positive and negative significance. However, in the long run, this policy is conducive to China's economic development, cultural exchanges, and the promotion of international status. As long as effective measures can be taken to strengthen supervision, this policy will undoubtedly become a major boost to China's economic and cultural development.
