btw, the wording on the site mentions "China (excluding Hong Kong and Macau)". Taiwan is also not counted as China here. Source: flew from Taiwan to Japan before rule change and did not need predeparture test/test on arrival
Thanks.
I was scrambling to find a testing facility here in Beijing, thinking Japan still needed a pre-departure test if flying China-->Japan, as I am due to fly PEK-HND next week.
Luckily I got a 3rd shot before I came out here this time, so don't need the negative test! Phew!
