All fairly logical bar the least guessed, that one surprised me.

It's a pretty common layover point between Europe and East Asia, so it's boosted by people taking a free stopover day or two when flying Emirates.

To embrace the Chinese culture you could even accept "Chinese Taipei"

That's just the olympics and world politics occasionally... nobody calls it that, and nobody regards it like some renegade province unless they work for the government.

You see Chinese tourists all over the place these days and all over Europe, too, even small East European countries without many other tourists. But I didn't guess Switzerland.

I'm curious, why do so many more Chinese go to South Korea than Japan?

Japan still has an image problem. Lots of people including my husband who is from Shanghai refuse to go to Japan since they have never officially apologized for the Nanjing massacre in WW2.

Interesting fact if you look up the Shanghai World financial centre the original design had the top as a circle but there was large protests against that since the architect was Japanese and people said it would look like the Japanese flag. The design had to be changed to look more like a square.

Indeed there is quite a bit still. Correction the architect was American but the developer was Japanese/American. :)

I worked for a major airline for years and a few years ago we hired a number of people from China, South Korea, Philippines, and Japan and put them all in the same training class. The Chinese, Korean, and Filipino new hires refused to attend class with the Japanese.

Not surprisingly, for most Chinese people, South Asian countries are too underdeveloped and have health and safety issues that don't make them suitable for traveling

I saw Chinese tourists in Nepal, and I believe they make up a large number of tourists there, but not enough to make the quiz. Also, despite being a bordering country, Nepal borders Western China, and is pretty far from the populated east of the country.

Bhutan allows like 5000 tourists in per year and they have to pay very high "visiting fees".

it won't change that its not a fact, sure.

Like even if you agree with all of China's political ideologies (which, lol. Socialism with Chinese characteristics? Sure buddy) it is just intellectually dishonest to call Taiwan part of China. You could try to argue it SHOULD be part of China or it WILL be part of China, but it is currently, objectively, not.

Certainly part of Greater China. However, in jetpunk China usually refers to People's Republic of China. In jetpunk quizzes prc can work for China while roc can work for Taiwan. If you cannot take Taiwan then just take ROC as an alternative.

Surprised to see Taiwan ranking so high, because Taiwan has imposed much stricter conditions on the entry of mainland Chinese personnel since 2019.

Is Singapore for business or vacation?

What kind of tourism does it attract? Just people who want to see a large, developed, city - like Tokyo?

The link says Bangladesh is one of the other increasing areas. Are there a lot of Bangladeshi work visas? I can't think of what Bangladesh would offer Chinese people unique to other countries in the region
