A full travel rebound. China is lifting its COVID-19 antigen test requirements for all travelers entering the country.

The announcement was made on Monday and will take effect this Wednesday.

The regime put an end to its zero-COVID policy last December after years of lengthy draconian lockdowns which fueled anger across the nation. Earlier this year, China dropped the PCR test mandate for all inbound travelers. Instead, those who came into the country were required to show a negative antigen test result 48 hours before boarding their flights.

Meanwhile, China’s communist neighbor North Korea is finally allowing citizens abroad to return home following some four years of tight border controls.
