According to a report by Hong Kong Satellite TV, according to the latest news learned by the station, mainland China will no longer take measures to quarantine people entering isolation facilities from overseas starting from January 3, 2023. Optimized to the 0+3 policy, this also means that China will fully open up in the new year 2023.
The so-called "0+3" policy means that when foreigners enter mainland China, they are no longer forced to quarantine in isolation facilities. Receive only three days of medical monitoring. The current entry quarantine policy implemented in mainland China is "5+3", that is, 5 days of centralized quarantine followed by 3 days of home quarantine. Currently, there are very few countries around the world that quarantine people entering the country. Almost no countries in Europe and the United States require quarantine.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a speech.
Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" also reported on the 21st that Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao revealed on Tuesday (20th) that he would convey customs clearance demands to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China during his report in Beijing. National People's Congress Standing Committee Member Tan Yaozong said that all sources indicate that all work is being prepared and he believes that customs clearance is in sight; he hopes to make preparations before customs clearance to avoid chaos.
Mainland China adjusted its entry policy from "7+3" to "5+3" on November 11, and canceled the circuit breaker mechanism for inbound flights. Recently, some people who have entered quarantine in Chengdu, Sichuan Province have revealed that the current entry quarantine time in Chengdu has actually been shortened to "2+3" (two days of centralized quarantine + three days of home quarantine).

At the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on December 21, a reporter from the Japan Broadcasting Association mentioned that as the new crown epidemic enters a new stage, does China plan to further optimize the entry quarantine policy in the near future?
In response, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning responded: In the past three years since the outbreak of the new coronavirus, we have insisted on overall planning and win-win cooperation, taking the lead in resuming work and production globally, actively promoting high-level opening up, and facilitating personnel exchanges through "fast lanes", optimizing visa policies, orderly increasing international flights, simplifying remote prevention and control measures and other arrangements, and making important contributions to maintaining the stability of the global industry chain supply chain. We will provide more convenience for cross-border personnel exchanges in accordance with the current situation.
Many Chinese people hope to return home to visit relatives.
Aoki observed that the price of air tickets to China has also been significantly reduced recently.
On a well-known domestic ticket booking platform, Aoki saw that on January 3, the one-way ticket from Frankfurt, Germany to Shanghai was as low as 6,452 yuan including tax. Two months ago, most one-way fares were more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. And if you book a one-way ticket to Shanghai on April 2, the lowest price is only 4,880 yuan.
Tickets have plummeted.
Regarding the news from Hong Kong Satellite TV, many netizens left messages on their Weibo . Everyone has different opinions.
A netizen left a message saying, "Everyone doesn't care anymore and can relax completely." "Is it still meaningful to go back to China and quarantine now?"
Some netizens also said that this "means that the infection storm spreads through two channels, both internal and external. Everyone can protect themselves as much as possible, but if you can't prevent it, just relax. Poor old people will definitely have a peak of death. Sooner or later, there will be a death peak, but the later the better."
Some netizens are still doubtful about this.

Aoki has traveled a lot in European countries in the past year, and even went to the United States in October. However, he has not yet been diagnosed with the new coronavirus , but he feels that he has been infected. Whether it is Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, or the United States, the lives of people in these countries have basically returned to normal. In fact, the epidemic situation in these countries is still relatively serious.Germany currently has about 30,000 new infections every day, and more than 100 deaths every day.
Therefore, no matter what the new policy is, the key is that everyone still needs to actively protect themselves, especially those who have not been vaccinated , those with underlying diseases, and the elderly. Aoki’s experience is to go less to crowded places, participate less in activities, and pay more attention to health care and physical exercise. In particular, you must maintain a positive attitude.
