Philippines not on black list, more to come: China Embassy

The Chinese Embassy in Manila formally denied that China has included the Philippines in its blacklist for tourism. "The report of 'tourist blacklist' is misinformation. China has not placed the Philippines on its blacklist for tourism," a report released on Tuesday night quoted by PNA noted. The embassy had issued a separate statement previously nothing that "tourism is an important component of practical cooperation between China and the Philippines" and that it expects "more Chinese tourists to come to this country after the pandemic."
