One of my Chinese friends just got out. Went from PEK-HKG-SFO yesterday and arrived last night. Says he'll probably be in the US for "at least 2 months". Not sure how long his US visa is good for, or exactly what he's planning to do here, and I'll probably find out some time this week when I meet him. I strongly suspect being tired of the 0 COVID crap over there though has something to do with it.
