Chinese passport holders can now travel to more than 90 countries and regions around the world without a visa or by obtaining a visa on arrival, a senior immigration official said Wednesday.

Xiong Shuren, director general of the Department of Exit and Entry Administration under the National Immigration Administration, made the remarks at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office.

According to international consulting agency rankings, the Chinese passport has moved up from 72nd place in 2021 to 60th in terms of global mobility, reflecting a steady increase in its international travel convenience.
