About 490,000 entry and exit trips were made to and from China daily between Jan. 8-12 after the country reopened its borders, an official from the country's immigration bureau told a news briefing on Friday.
This is up 48.9% from the period before China's COVID policy easing but is only 26.2% of 2019 levels, Liu Haitao said. Of that 490,000 number, 250,000 trips were inbound, while 240,000 were outbound, he added.
