Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the State Immigration Administration has implemented a strict and tight immigration policy. Will China’s immigration policy be adjusted and relaxed in 2022?
Chen Jie, the spokesman of the State Immigration Administration, said that the outbreak continues to spread and new mutated strains are accelerating the spread, and the situation of foreign importation is still serious.
The State Immigration Administration once again reminded that the epidemic is still prevalent outside China, so it is important to cherish the hard-won achievements in the prevention and control of the epidemic in China, strictly comply with the epidemic prevention regulations and reduce the non-emergency and non-essential cross-border movement of people.
