Um, and as we were first talking about, was mentioned about, uh, some of the visa policies, I'd like to start with, um, what is the general direction of the Chinese, uh, visas?

Well, I think there's a couple of things happening at the same time.

One is to try and use visa, visa regulations to showcase China as a reliable place for people to visit, to come to, uh, by extension, a reliable partner.

So there's a whole dimension of soft power involved as well, and cutting back on the red tape that's required to visit.

Uh, it's not that long ago that most Europeans, uh, if they flew to China, had to fill in, uh, an extensive amount of documentation, get an invitation, um, show that the ticket was already booked, uh, all, all this, um, upfront work only to then later learn, you know, did you get your visa or not? You'll find out later.

Uh, and it was, uh, very stressful and strenuous and, and in many ways unhelpful.

And so, uh, without reciprocity, uh, China has removed most of those barriers.

Correct?
