China just released the largest Black Friday sale to access their nation they have ever offered. And it is good news for missionaries from many different nations that have a calling for China.
From today until the end of next year, China has announced they are now allowing 38 nations visa free access into the nation! That has never happened before. China is needing a kick start to their economy and they are hoping to do it by offering nations visa free access.
BUT WAIT! THERE IS MORE!
Just like those old late night commercials that offered unbelievable sales and then sweetened the deals even more at the last minute to get customers to buy, China is perhaps doing the same. China is not just offering 38 nations visa free access, but they have now just announced that they are increasing the number of days for each visit from 15 to 30 days.
From November 30, 2024, visa-free stays in China will increase for 38 nations from 15 to 30 days.
China first introduced the visa free policy to six nations at the end of 2023, but have since increased the number of nations to 38 in only the last twelve months. The most surprising nation on the new list no longer needing a visa is Japan. China has always seen Chinese as their enemy, but Japan is also a large investor in China, but their investments have dropped significantly in the last four years.
The most notable nations are not yet on the list – America and England. After the election of Donald Trump, China is bracing for a trade war with the United States.
With hopes to encourage Chinese entrepreneur and bring confidence back to a failing economy, the Chinese government has broken the glass cage and let the Alibaba founder Jack Ma out again. Jack Ma was once the richest man in China before he was ruined and exiled for daring to criticize the Chinese Communist Party, but on Friday he was paraded out to pay a visit to the company’s main campus in Hangzhou.
Foreign investors have fled China after China passed a slew of new laws. They also kicked many foreign management level staff out of the country by canceling their visas, thinking foreign companies would continue to invest in China even if their companies were run by Chinese nationals. China miscalculated.
