Xi I would very much love to visit China. I promise to take pictures and videos that show China in a positive light because it's an amazing country. Please just help me with airfare costs.
+3000 social credit points. You may redeem these for travel points by your next statement date.
Social credit is like frequent flyer miles except you get them for just being a decent person in society? Sounds rad
But at what cost?
Top result for "round trip ticket to China"
Multiple airlines 1d 0h+ Connecting from $1,266
So at least that much
It's kinda ridiculous how low the prices have dropped in Australia. Round trip Syd to Shanghai or Hainan for $400 AUD in October? 144 hour Visa? I could probably drag some of my white friends to go experience civilization.
I paid about $2500. Getting to northern China seems about $1000 more expensive from where I am than getting to HK, so I might do that and just go to the mainland from there next time.
Idk how one would apply but it looks like China is literally inviting people to visit and paying for it.
