China officially announced that from the beginning of December this year to the end of November next year, six countries, including Germany, (mainly developed European countries) will implement a visa-free policy. Residents of these countries can enjoy visa-free entry to China for 15 days. However, please note that this visa-free policy for the six countries is unilaterally implemented by China, and the six countries do not give China reciprocal visa-free treatment. Why is that?Today, I will take Germany, the most important of them, as an example, to talk about why Germany has not reciprocated visa-free access to China.
According to this, after the announcement of China's visa-free policy to Germany, the search volume for flights to China increased by 109% in the search data of Germans, and the number of German flight tickets to China also decreased accordingly. This is good news for Chinese tourism, after all, Europeans know too little about China. It is believed that after the weather warms up, a large number of Europeans will travel to China.
It is believed that after the Spring Festival, the tourism boom to China will flourish again.
Now back to today's question, why Germany did not give China the same visa-free treatment - after all, win-win cooperation means that you come and go, and mutual benefit. Germany also stated today that the time for Chinese residents to make an appointment for a German visa at the German Embassy in China will be greatly reduced. That's good news (?).Maybe it's more appropriate to say it's a painless message. For Chinese, the core issue of visa-free access remains unresolved.
Please don't say clichés such as "Chinese go and don't come back", China's national strength is strong, people's living standards and consumption power have improved so far, and the situation of black households has been reduced to a minimum. It's not that Germany is reluctant to give China a reciprocal visa waiver, just because a German visa is also a Schengen visa – a German visa allows travelers to travel through the 26 Schengen countries at will. Therefore, if Germany wants to grant China visa exemption, it must consult other Schengen countries. There is no doubt that Germany is working in this direction. It is believed that it will not be too long before the visa-free treatment of major European countries to China will be gradually realized.
The famous catering in Germany is beer + sausage products, which is very suitable for the appetite of Chinese tourists.
If you have any doubts about this, Singapore has recently announced the implementation of a visa-free system for China, and as a developed country, Singapore's today is the EU country's tomorrow. What you need to think about now is that once the major EU countries release the visa-free treatment, what European country do you want to go to the most?
That's it for this issue.
