China Removes Visas for Canadian and British Citizens

China has announced the removal of visa requirements for citizens of Canada and the United Kingdom, starting Tuesday, February 17th. The measure, which will be in effect until December 31st, applies to trips of up to 30 days for tourism, business, or family visits. The decision is seen as a move to strengthen relations with these countries and distance itself from US policy. This move follows visits by the leaders of Canada and the United Kingdom to Beijing in January, signaling an effort to improve bilateral relations.
