Recently, a large number of foreign tourists have flooded into China, and some vloggers have created various popular memes on the internet. For example, we are all obsessed with the sentence city not city.
This meme comes from a foreign vlogger who comes to travel in China with his sister and often comes up with the sentence city not city.
Because the sound is too hilarious, it has become the object that many people imitate.
City has become an adjective for urbanization, fashionable, novelty and even excitement.
Nowadays, a large number of foreign vloggers have emerged on Chinese social media platforms.
One of the reasons behind this is China's 144-hour visa-free transit policy. Since the implementation of the 72/144 hour visa-free transit policy for Norwegian citizens in last November, the scope of application of this policy has expanded to 54 countries.
Citizens from the 54 countries are exempted from visa requirements during transit for 72 or 144 hours when heading for a third nation, said the National Immigration Administration.
Statistics released by the National Immigration Administration show that the number of foreigners coming to China recorded a threefold increase year-on-year in the first quarter of this year. Notably, some 1.98 million foreigners enjoyed visa-free entry into China during the first three months of this year, soaring 266 percent year-on-year.
The China travel videos posted by foreign vloggers on YouTube and TikTok have allowed people who have long been brainwashed by Western media's biased reporting to understand what the real China looks like.
Some praised these vloggers for being able to explore the real China.
Some began to compare the differences between China and other countries. Many mention that China is safer than other places.
Some gave thumbs up to the excellent public service work of the Chinese government.
And some expressed their intention to visit China.
And there is also such comment: China is not our enemy; our enemy is ignorance.
