Entering Without Visa. Why Seemingly Harmless Act, Signs of Amenability, Might Have Some Issues. Popular Topic: China Temporarily Allowing Citizens of at Least Several Countries to Enter Visa Free.

Before we begin, two things to say at the same time. One, we know full well that China takes security precautions, and a very good job at it. Secondly, this write-up, a very brief one to daub at a matter come across in the past, is stoked by a news report, (as opposed to a feet on the ground first-hand account).
There is a news report from Reuters, online newspaper in their World section, released sometime between two days ago and today, 'China offers visa-free entry for citizens of France, Germany, Italy'.
It says that the citizens of the following countries can enter visa-free, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia, basically 5 European Nations, and one farther east.
Is there a concern or isn't there a concern? In a vacuum of a perfect world where nothing will go wrong, nothing outside of what planned precautions have been set to preempt occurs, for conversation sakes there is no concern.
However, simply put, here in the US, we got hurt, as well as plausibly our neighbor Canada, by allowing immigrants, visitors, students, workers, business projects, and tourists, through all kinds of programs that were intended to be graceful, signs of friendliness, spur industry and the economy, all those positive ideals and intentions, -when unfortunately, a few bad apples spoiled it, and went forward with or intended to go forward with ill will.
It turns out for instance, some of those visitors, may not have really been originally from the country they said they were. Of course that complicated the overall schemes that needed the halt put to it.
Among the baseline common denominators, is individuals feigning to come over under one guise, could really be coming over with intentions to stir up trouble, facilitating for instance, the development of cells of different sorts, which might sit dormant or latent in terms of causing harm for years, before the network of doers of negative activity start up their troubles.
A major topic, is the influx of immigrants making their way to Mexico, then into the US, originally from locations perhaps around a 1,000 miles or so away from Mexico. Problematic when the immigrants are illegal, or are stirring up trouble.
All in all, visa-free entry, China is engaging in, is noble, and that there is an assumption that all security measures (besides innate in visa entry) will be taken, and there will be no worries; and hence, this post may be a step out of line; sometimes validated concerns stated are a step out of line; globally, anytime visa-free or checkpoint-free entry from country to country occurs, all stand to benefit from a least being aware of it, so that they could at minimal calculate the possibilities.
