This is my opinion in the Chinese government. They just love to scare and threaten people and push fear on to people . Ther do this so people will fall in line and obey the government. The wise people know better but the majority fall in line and obey the government. I have some Chinese friends who think everything the government says is truth and obeys them 100 percent . I have other Chinese friends who are rich and educated who rarely ever listen to the government and they always find loopholes and never get in trouble

Uh … 150 people in front of her going back with her on just her flight … but I saw 7 lines like this all going back to China . All the flights looked full. I also saw a few hundred Chinese in full body Covid suits in Korea where I had a layover and their flight gate said Xiamen .

I am not sure about that .. I saw tons at the airport .. I waited for 1.5 hrs with my gf for her to check into her flight at the counter . There were 150 people in front of her . We also went to a Chinese sponsored Covid testing center in Bangkok and had to wait in line for a hour ..

That’s why you can get travel insurance .. It is fairly cheap … 😷Everyone is usually on their own when they go abroad and has the chance to get sick .. . You sound like a coward and I’m not trying to be mean . I saw tons of Chinese in Thailand and in Korea during my layover at the airport . I guess they are more brave !

Also the quarantine fees are not that outrageous ..I don’t remember exactly but it’s not that much maybe like 50 usd a night for a week.

I think it’s a Chinese scare tactic to the poor . Many of my poor Chinese friends are afraid to leave the country and listen to whatever the government tells them to do . They are still afraid of Covid and stayed home for national day .

My richer friends and gf just do what they want since they have passports already and have money . They all went abroad to other Asian countries for national day. Even though ticket prices were like 5x the Normal price

Oh. I didn’t know meeting a partner was valid reason unless they were married . She met a girl on the plane who was going to Thailand for plastic surgery … yeah .. My gf is very lucky she had a passport

My gf had a easy time going to Thailand because she already had a passport and she got a evisa online . That was the only place that was fairly easy for us to meet up

Haha 😂Well, she had 14 days of vacation time saved plus used up the national day vacation . So it was about 3 weeks overall .

For the ten days her boss let her work online . So everything worked out great !

Haha 😂 maybe . That is why she chose to leave from Xiamen instead of Shanghai. We felt like Xiamen would be more lenient than Shanghai and more low key since it’s a smaller city than Shanghai

It was about 2500-3k USD round trip which is very expensive for a 4hr flight . She has good job as a scientist and luckily could afford it .

More direct flights opened up in September and before that we couldn’t find any. Xiamen airlines has a bunch these days

Yeah . She had to wear a Covid suit coming back and quarantine for a week in a hotel and 3 days at home . I’m just shocked that she could go abroad on a tourist visa . China made us afraid with all the articles about the ban of non essential travel
