Any testing upon arrival is a hindrance to tourism, a pre departure test is the maximum that the market tolerates. Wonder why most EU countries can do that and even suppressed the pre departure test for vaccinated travellers ?
About the Chinese, I love your optimism, BUT the Chinese communist party in charge does not want its people leaving the country. Anyway they sadly will be busy for a lomg time following the disastrous zero Covid policy.
