More foreign visitors present more positive China stories

China Daily  

Tourists from Italy pose for a group photo after practicing tai chi at Beijing's Tiantan Park earlier this month. China's 144-hour visa-free transit policy has significantly boosted inbound travelers' enthusiasm for visiting the country. Tourism officials in China must be happy now that the scenic spots and historical sites are crowded with foreign visitors, because the unilateral visa-free entry policy is designed to boost inbound tourism. Some foreign nationals have visited China to "investigate" how the surveillance cameras on the streets are "violating" people's rights. I hope more foreign visitors come and stay in China longer enough to enjoy, observe and tell their China stories objectively-good or bad.
