In 2014,

00:00:02,211 --> 00:00:04,922

a reciprocal VISA arrangement

in order to make the travel
between our two nations more convenient.

4
00:00:09,259 --> 00:00:10,636
Based on the arrangement,

5
00:00:10,636 --> 00:00:15,349
the B1/B2 VISAs for Chinese citizens
have been extended to 10 years,

6
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:19,186
this is undoubtedly a milestone in
diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China.

a favorite destination for Chinese Nationals.
