Sinds China de lakens uitdeelt in sommige Afrikaanse landen, moet je daar opeens op de airport ook vingerafdrukken geven en paspoort scannen en facescannenquote:

Recently, a large-scale law enforcement action targeting defaulting debtors is fervently taking place all over China. The protagonists of this action aren't those who owe a large amount of money. Instead, these are individuals such as someone who owes 55,000 yuan due to a private lending dispute, and another who owes a mere 70,000 yuan.
This is a fresh law enforcement action sparked by the new draft of the Civil Compulsory Execution Law. This new regulation grants the court a significant power: summoning defaulters who must attend the investigations. However, if they choose to shirk their responsibilities, ignoring the court summons and refusing to attend, law enforcement will intervene, forcing their attendance.

China should just give up on inbound tourism at this point. The fact that it's big news that foreigners can pay for things is maybe a sign that the country isn't set up for tourism.
Me, a resident of China, trying to book a short trip. Let's make sure the hotel accepts foreigners. Tickets for everything in the area can only be purchased with a shenfenzheng (ID). So I guess just show up in person and hope I can buy tickets to stuff.
Imagine if some Chinese person went to Las Vegas, was told they couldn't stay in the hotel they booked because they're foreign. And then couldn't book any tourist things because they didn't have a drivers license.
It was a diplomatic incident when some Chinese in Sweden were told they couldn't squat for free in a hotel lobby in Stockholm. Imagine if they were reguarly told they couldn't stay in a hotel because of their nationality.
A lot of things in China are simply at odds with tourism.
-Real name verification for everything
-Many apps/services only accept Chinese ID
-Great firewall
-Incredibly hard to sign up for WeChat
-Hotels that won't take foreigners/PSB 24 hour registration requirement
Those are unlikely to change because they're linked to security. But it also means a lot of people will just never visit China. The tourism spending doesn't matter. The bigger issue is people never seeing the country and life firsthand
Even checking into a hotel as a foreign resident is a pain. Check the passport, the visa/residence permit, entry stamp. Take a photo with webcam on the desk.
I put a post-it on the page with the latest entry stamp. No time for someone to look through 50 pages of stamps.
If you're not staying in a hotel, there is an anachronistic regulation that you have to register your presence with the local police station within 24 hours.
Staying with a friend for 2 days and don't register with the PSB? Technically breaking the law.
Admittedly, it's not enforced often. But I've gotten in trouble and fined for it.
Inbound tourism:
Apply for an expensive and visa. Then take expensive flight. Hour in queue at Pudong immigration and health declaration.
Need WeChat. But someone needs to verify you. Need SIM card, but requires your passport. Link your WeChat to your credit card.
Message friends/family that you arrived safely. Everything (FB/whatsapp/insta) is blocked. Hopefully spent extra money on a VPN.
Download Didi and go the hotel. Hotel doesn’t take foreigners. Stay with friend, but technically need to go the PSB tomorrow morning to register.
Book a nice sightseeing tour. App is only in Chinese, but fine, Google Translate (if you have a VPN). Buying a ticket requires a Chinese ID number.
This isn't a good time to have nuanced takes on China. It's frustrating that it's difficult for tourists and even foreign residents in China.
But it's frustrating because it should be easy for people to come here and see the country.

Onderstaande tweet doet mij denken aan de aanstaande oorlog met Taiwan.
Wat gaat Taiwan doen als China met duizenden speedboots met elk 4~6 soldaten ofzo het water oversteekt? Het gaat a) waarschijnlijk veel te snel voor een anti ship missile en b) de anti ship missiles zijn eerder op dan dan de spotgoedkope speedboots... c) omdat er maar 4~6 man op zit is elk bootje afzonderlijk een low value target om uit te schakelen met een schaarse missile 🤔
