Foreign nationals who conceal information, furnish false information to border officials when entering China, will be denied entry as a punishment, said an official from China's General Administration of Customs (GAC), amid the country's persistent efforts at curbing imported COVID-19 cases from overseas.
Apart from the aforementioned violations, individuals not completing the routine paperwork at the border, will also be banned from entering, said Liu Haitao, a GAC official, at a press conference Monday.
Liu added that apart from standard border entrance formalities, as mandated by the Chinese government, foreigners who enter the country during this pandemic period must provide their Chinese recipient and contact information, their travel plan in China, and the accommodation address.
