On November 24, China decided to expand the scope of unilateral visa-free countries on a trial basis, and tried to implement a unilateral visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from six countries: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia, which will come into effect on December 1. 

More specific, from December 1, 2023 to November 30, 2024, citizens from six countries, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia, who come to China for business, tourism, family and friends and transit for no more than 15 days, can enter China without a visa. So far, the number of countries that have implemented unilateral visa exemption in China has increased from the original 2 (Brunei and Singapore) to 8, and the number of countries covered has also expanded from Asia to Europe.
