It depends on how badly you want to see the terracotta warriors. 😅
Ugh. Travel history listing in application forms—- I don’t like filling out that part. I had to check passport stamps to remember the dates.
Surely they have access to some world travel database. They probably just want to check what you would/not declare.
There’s a work-around: take the 240-hr transit visa-free. Requirement: enter one of designated ports such as Beijing, Shanghai, etc.
have a confirmed inward ticket to a a third country destination . Example USA - China - Japan.
Look into that. Easier and simpler.

@akindheart "He" is indeed Australian. And has the Medical cover and government services to prove it. Whats more, we are not afraid to vote and are guaranteed that right (It is actually an obligation) Nor are we afraid to fill in a census form. Not fearing "The Deep state" is reading our minds. If I needed a firearm I could get one. But very few people do. Because so few other people want to shoot us..And Christmas comes at a time of year when the weather is tolerable.😷

@akindheart My first thought is "Why would anyone want to be part of governing a place like America?" But that is harsh and unfair.. Now I do see why the President has a bunker..To protect him from the people..If I did a job that badly, the voillagers would be after me with torches and pitchforks too..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman it is not a matter of doing the job badly. it is when people don't get what they want OR they have been stopped from doing illegal activities. therein lies the problem

@akindheart See that may work in America. But here NO ONE gets to do just what they want, and EVERYONE has to obey the law..And while we still have problems, it does work fairly well..😷

I had a China trip booked for July of 2020 (hong Kong and shenszen ) as part of an around the world trip (China Qatar Finland Estonia Holland ) for my 50th birthday. . Then Covid hit. I chalked it up to it wasn’t meant to be. Don’t plan on ever going there.
