La Cina conferma il viaggio senza visto per 30 giorni per i cittadini del Regno Unito e del Canada

China has confirmed that nationals of the United Kingdom and Canada will be allowed to enter mainland China without a visa for stays of up to 30 days starting February 17. The policy, initially valid until December 31, applies to tourism, business travel, and visits to family and friends.

The announcement follows UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s recent visit to China, where he met President Xi Jinping and agreed to relax travel rules. Supporters say the move will boost business and people-to-people exchanges, while critics raise human rights and security concerns.

Very good news. In a world order with a less reliable US the UK should really be buddying up with the EU and coming closer to other powers like Brazil, China or India.

Not towing Americas line as countless Tory and Labour governments have done dragging us into their problems and their wars only to get scammed from it, most recently in the Houthi conflict where despite our help they wrote us out of a deal that would let our ships travel safely meanwhile US ships would not be attacked.

“Friendship ended with USA, now China is best friend.” 

I was out there for work and have been really interested in going back as a tourist but the visa was always a huge barrier, so this is great news. If anyone is curious I do really recommend taking the dive and visiting. Its a long journey but its a hell of an experience, its now a very modern country but still quite a strong culture shock at times. Prices on a lot of goods and things like hotel rates and taxi fares are just absurd, like hard to believe at first.
