China's tight restrictions on international travel as part of its zero-tolerance approach to controlling COVID-19 are the top concern for British firms operating in the country but they are more optimistic than last year, a survey showed on Tuesday (Dec 7).

"Opaque, inconsistent travel and visa policies have made it extremely difficult to bring foreign staff into China," the British Chamber of Commerce in Beijing said.
While other countries in Asia have slowly opened up their borders to international travel, China still has strict curbs in place involving long quarantines and limits on flights and visas.
"China today is physically more isolated from the world than at any time since entering the World Trade Organization 20 years ago. As international travel starts to recover globally, the contrast with China is striking," the chamber said.
Its survey, which had 288 respondents, showed nearly a quarter of companies saw foreign staff numbers fall in 2021, and 41 per cent expect numbers to decrease significantly next year on concerns over separation from family or friends or uncertainties over being able to come back.
Business groups representing European and American companies have voiced similar concerns.
China has defended its COVID-19 control measures as an effective way to protect its citizens and officials have said they will not change any time soon, although the country has pledged to ease rules slightly for US business travellers.
