China's Foreign Ministry said that all inbound travellers will only need to show COVID-19 antigen test results (dropping the PCR) taken within 48 hours before boarding flights starting Saturday.

Testing requirements were already eased in March for travellers from several countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia and New Zealand.
