China is poised to ease border restrictions to allow some foreigners back in, provided they have taken a Chinese-made coronavirus vaccine.
The country has been closed to most foreigners since last March to stem the spread of the coronavirus, which it has largely brought under control at home, leaving many with jobs and family inside China stranded overseas.
But Chinese embassies in several countries have issued notices saying the country will open visa applications to select people who have taken a China-made jab.
