After months of slow progress, China’s authorities appear to be preparing for a widespread return of international students.
“Welcome news! International students can now return to China to resume their studies,” wrote Ma Hui, China’s ambassador to Cuba, in a recent post on Twitter.
The message comes as China readies to ease its COVID-19 restrictions on foreign travelers after two and a half years. By this week, it is slated to scrap current requirements that visitors to the country report the results of a nucleic acid test, their infection status and vaccination dates, the Chinese state–run Global Times reported.
