I'm kind of surprised by this. They gave me a 10yr multiple-entry visa when I applied for a single-entry visa, which made me think they really wanted tourists after COVID. I must have gone off-season, because the sites I visited in Beijing and Xi'an were overwhelmingly populated by domestic tourists.

If you are thinking of going. China is very cool and relatively cheap, especially food and lodging. It's a little challenging to get around because a lot of the travel apps are blocked in China. Like the best map app is in Chinese, so you have to use it with a translator app, but that's part of the fun.

Well duh. When mercans threaten to jail tourists and attack other countries including europe, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, the decision to skip tourism in the country where everyone has and threatens to use a gun is entirely rational. The next industry to experience a boycott will be mercan streaming and cloud tech companies. In my business, with about 5,000 employees, we have a stated plan to get off Amazon, Google and Microsoft moving to non american suppliers. we are even preferencing chinese over american now. Once we move the business will be out of reach of american bullshit for good.
