They just announced that the visa free stays in China have been extended from 15 to now 30 days!
China also added 9 more new countries to the visa free scheme, now a total of 30 countries (pretty much all of the western world, except USA and UK).
Pretty awesome and one can go and come back currently too. So 30 days China, weekend in HK, 30 days China again, weekend in Seoul, 30 days China again etc. if needed.
Here a list of the countries that get the 30 day visa free entry to China
Some nice new additions to that list.
Great to see South Koreans and Japanese can now benefit also 
Still waiting for the UK to make it to the visa free travel list 
hopefully soon!
it used to be 15 days, did I miss the moment it switched to 30??
and yes, the UK is seen as closer to the US I believe and so no great friends of China. Besides they keep saying stupid things like, we must close down all the Confucius Institutes… sigh…
It was implemented on November 30th, great news all round!
Hopefully more to come in 2025 as well. Interest in China is really growing (it’s showing with the search numbers on Google!)
Peru is still not in the list. 
And now they just extended the transit visa to China (for pretty much all nationalities) to 240h (thats 10 days) visa free entry for anyone transiting through China.
This also applies to US, UK and Peru @JoelPe
Here is the news story from Andreas’ post above.
Great to see this happening. I think it’s easier than pre-COVID times ever was now for people to enter China.
Updating with further with the current list of countries that can enter China visa free.

Your prayers have been answered!
From June 1st Peru will be added to the list along with a number of other South American countries 
Interesting that they still not open to the UK tho 
Finally the UK can now enter China visa free!! Canadians also
It seems China is becoming more and more open to foreigners. I remember that Vietnamese used to need a certain amount of money in their savings account, but that’s no longer required. Getting a Chinese visa has become easier now, only need to show labor contract then we can get the tourist visa
