After the loosening of entry and exit policies, it will inevitably create more convenience for cross-border study and exchange, and also accumulate "potential energy" for the future resumption of entry and exit tourism.

no longer need to "5+3" entry, as long as the nucleic acid negative can be "0+0".
On the evening of December 26, the National Health and Medical Commission issued an announcement that the new type of coronavirus pneumonia and changed its name to the new crown virus infection, and the original "Class B and A regulation" was adjusted to "Class B and B regulation". What followed was a change in the entry-exit prevention and control policy: according to the latest plan, personnel coming to China should undergo a nucleic acid test 48 hours before departure, and those with a negative result can come to China; The quarantine will be canceled, and those who have a normal health declaration and no abnormality in the routine quarantine at the customs port can be released to enter the society; if they are cancelled, there will also be measures to control the number of international passenger flights such as "five ones" and passenger load factor restrictions; at the same time, the announcement proposes , Resume outbound tourism of Chinese citizens in an orderly manner.
As soon as the news came out, in just 15 minutes, the search volume of international air tickets on an OTA (Online Travel) platform increased by 7 times, and the data of another platform also showed that within half an hour, the search volume of popular overseas destinations increased year-on-year 10 times, outbound (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) air tickets, hotel searches have reached the peak in three years. Some international students have put returning to China on the agenda, and many are planning to arrange long-lost outbound travel. This is also the projection of "return of pyrotechnics" at the level of transnational mobility. There is no doubt that in the past three years, the spread of the epidemic around the world has disrupted normal exchanges between countries, and its impact on economic globalization and global economic governance is clearly visible. When the new crown pneumonia was raging at the beginning, it was also an approach in line with the current situation to regard "foreign defense import" as a requirement to strictly observe the security of entry and exit countries. Now, as the new coronavirus continues to mutate, its infectivity increases and its toxicity weakens, timely adjustments and optimization of epidemic prevention policies are also changing with the times and changing with the situation. Optimizing entry-exit-related policies is also a move on the chessboard for systematic policy adjustments.
Although it was "like a spring breeze overnight", it didn't come suddenly: from 14+14, 14+7 to 7+3, 5+3 to 0+0, from the establishment of inbound flights fuse mechanism to cancellation This mechanism goes to cancel the "five ones" and passenger load factor restrictions and other international passenger flight quantity control measures. It can be seen that my country's entry-exit policy combined with factors such as virus incubation period and pathogenicity dynamically adjusts the trajectory according to time and situation, which is quite obvious.
Now, with the "Class B and B control" of the new crown, according to the Frontier Health and Quarantine Law, no quarantine infectious disease management measures will be taken for entry personnel and goods, which is also a timely adjustment. Under the background that the National Health and Medical Commission emphasized not long ago that "it will gradually promote and accelerate the entry isolation measures according to law", this is also the landing of the boots.

The adjustment of entry and exit policies is also the common expectation of transnational migrants. In the past three years, many people's needs for entry and exit have been temporarily suppressed by the epidemic, which also requires policy-level relief.
Prior to this, whether it was "allowing entry of foreigners holding valid APEC business travel cards", "Macao resumed reception of mainland tourist groups in November", or the appropriate relaxation of entry quarantine measures in many places in China-Hong Kong and Macau took the lead in exploring "0 +0", "2+3" was tried in Chengdu, and "5+0" was tried in Beijing and Guangzhou, all of which received positive public opinion feedback.
It is foreseeable that after the optimization of the entry-exit policy, it will inevitably create more convenience for cross-border study and exchange, and also accumulate "potential energy" for the resumption of entry-exit tourism in the future. In essence, the adjustment of the entry-exit policy, especially the "0+0" entry, is also the fulfillment of the promise that "China's door will only open wider and wider."
Over the years, China has been an active promoter of globalization, serving as both a beneficiary and a beneficiary. In the past few decades, the contribution of opening up to China's economic growth and China's contribution to global economic growth have been very high - World Bank data show that from 2013 to 2021, China's contribution to globalThe contribution rate of economic growth reached 38.6%. Behind this is China's active integration into the globalization system, the support of the "going out" and "bringing in" of the open gene double helix, and the continuous growth of foreign trade.
Under the new development pattern of "dual cycles", the importance of opening up both domestic and international markets has become increasingly prominent. Now, with the systematic arrangements made in the latest plan, overseas travel is gradually liberalized, the arrangements for foreign nationals involved in resumption of work and production, business, study abroad, family visits, reunions, etc. are further optimized, and gradually resume the entry and exit of passengers by water and land ports. , which is bound to more thoroughly eliminate the barriers to interconnection at home and abroad. China opens its door to "welcome and send", which will create better conditions for high-level opening up and inject more impetus into the accelerated recovery of China's economy. Written by
