Usually you are fine as long as you get your passport over the desk within the 30 days. I would definitely be getting nervous at the three week mark though.

Jim 801 Report post Posted January 7 I've been unable to pick up my renewed residence permit due to lockdown but called the police and they're fine with my force majeure excuse. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roddy 5,429 Report post Posted January 8 Can't imagine many people have flights booked at the moment, but even UK nationals now need a negative test to enter the UK - due to concern about the South Africa variant being vaccine-resistant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 801 Report post Posted January 8 Another case in the village and we've been upgraded to mid-level risk which means lockdown has no definite end I believe. News says the new case has no other close contacts. Here's the story: https://news.163.com/21/0108/16/FVR58MND00019K82.html ETA And a short video piece https://v.163.com/static/1/VPUBC3RHD.html 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mungouk 987 Report post Posted Thursday at 01:13 AM If anyone's looking to travel within China, this tool lets you enter start city and destination and it will tell you the restrictions and regulations currently in force. http://m.cc.bendibao.com/news/gelizhengce/all.php It's not complete, but "更多地区在持续添加中". The pop-up window is asking if it's OK to use your current location. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your posts give much insight into how things are going in China and how things are being handled. Between your posts, comments from friends, and articles in the press, it shows how much more control China has over the situation (and its citizens). That China has an incredible level of control & monitoring, yet the virus still keeps circulating shows how difficult the virus will be control. Considering that most other countries have far fewer controls that China, it seems like our only chance of success for defeating the virus will be the vaccines. Yet, we don't even know yet whether (or which) vaccines will stop the transmission of the virus. To be clear, I think countries like mine, i.e., the US, should require much more use of masks & people themselves should practice safer behaviors. However, I'm skeptical that this will happen, so vaccines will be essential (assuming people are willing to accept them). 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
