China Entry testing on visitors from China
1. I disagree with China's policy to retaliate against countries that imposed testing on visitors from China.

2. China does not need to take this action as it would leave a bad impression that China is "bullying" the other countries.

3. The countries that require testing may have their reason for wanting to play safe. Maybe their health system is not ready to deal with more infections. China took this approach before opening up. Anyway, China should allow these countries to make their own "sovereign" decisions.

4. The countries that impose testing will soon find that:
a) They lose the economic benefit of an inflow of tourists from China.
b) Other countries which allowed free entry did not have a serious increase in infections.
c) These countries will soon abandon their requirement on testing voluntarily.
