    Also, I imagine they are talking about Hasan, but how is he a “passport bro” in this scenario because don’t many other countries have 90 day visa free stays with China but America does not?

      I think they recently started to allow it

      Nonetheless Hasan travels like once a year, so I guess “passport bro” === “bro who possesses a passport”

        Oh really? I’ve been meaning to visit China again but it was a little intense the first time, and that was pre-covid, in 2018. Having an easier time visiting China sounds like a dream.

          the only visa free waiver for amerikkkans right now is the 10-day transit waiver, but you have to fly out on a segment to a different country than you came from (not that hard, but means a layover).

          p.s. I apologize for implying you might be amerikkkan if you are not amerikkkan

            I am unfortunately a Yeehaw but I’m doing my best. Each day I salute a portrait of Lenin.

            Well since I am Amerikkkan I have very little vacation time anyway, so maybe 10 days would be enough? I could maybe fly back through Mexico or Canada.

            I just wanna visit China again, it’s so chill. Shenzhen is one of my favorite places on earth.

              depending on where your USA airport is, I would recommend a stop in Tokyo on the way back instead of stopping in North America. lots of flights and it’s a great place for a quick food-focused layover (especially if you can land and take off in Haneda which is much closer to the city). 20 mins from Haneda you can be eating top tier ramen
