China will adopt a visa-free entry policy for Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.
From June 9, 2025, to June 8, 2026, people from the four countries holding ordinary passports will be allowed to enter China visa-free and stay for up to 30 days, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.
With this move, China's visa-free policy will have covered all Gulf Cooperation Council member countries, Mao said.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
