China has for a long time now, had its borders pretty tightly closed to overseas visitors as part of its zero or Covid elimination policy. This has obviously caused a great many problems and distress to many different groups. In particular businesses and companies. However, according to The American China Chamber of Commerce China will launch a US-China travel fast-track program to start in early 2022.
The purpose of the fast-track arrangement is to provide a more efficient, predictable and reliable channel for essential US company executives, technical personnel and their dependent family members to come to China.

Our experience is that China rarely does things by halves so we expect this to be the opening of the door and similar policies applied to other countries, including the EU and UK.
Our friends at Caixin Global recently carried a story highlighting the plight of many foreign countries, this particular article relating to the UK.
U.K. businesses in China say in a Covid world, staffing is their most pressing concern
U.K. businesses in China have yet to fully recover from the fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic as hiring and retaining foreign employees has become their most pressing concern, despite an uptick in optimism, a survey published Tuesday suggests.
The survey, conducted by the British Chamber of Commerce in China, reflects the perceived costs of China’s “zero-tolerance” Covid-19 strategy on foreign companies as they continue to operate in the world’s second-largest economy.
