The Chinese government continuous its open approach to strengthen the international partnerships and enhance mutual trade. In particular, the waiving of entry visas for passport holders of important markets such as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and others, further facilitates the participation of international players at the trade events in China.
