Sources and methodology

Current guidance, with the uncertainty left in.

China Travel Prep separates official facts, product inference, and practical recommendations so you know what to trust and what to verify.

How a result is built

  1. 1. Official fact. Entry rules and other regulated claims must link to the authority that publishes them.
  2. 2. Deterministic interpretation. The tool applies a visible rule to the answers you provided; it does not invent eligibility from free-form text.
  3. 3. Practical recommendation. Setup advice names the likely failure and gives an independent recovery path.

Freshness and unresolved cases

Material time-sensitive claims include a last-checked date. Unknown or ambiguous inputs return a preliminary result and the exact official checks to complete; they never become a confident claim by default.

Tool results also link provider, bank, carrier, airport, or operator documentation when those sources control the outcome.

What this cannot guarantee

A preflight is preparation guidance, not legal advice, entry clearance, a payment guarantee, or a promise that a carrier, wallet, hotel, or booking operator will behave the same on your travel date.
