คะแนนเฉลี่ย
          After the Chinese government began easing domestic lockdown measures in November 2023, it recently announced the relaxation of inbound travel restrictions, effective January 8, 2023, which is sooner than expected by observers. Therefore, it is most likely that Beijing will allow Chinese nationals to resume outbound travel as usual within the first half of 2023 on an important condition that the current wave of COVID-19 is within control and does not put a strain on the country’s public health system.
