  Have you been living under a rock since March 2020? People, regardless of nationality, would try to circumvent covid restriction, even if they had covid. People in the US were getting fake test results, fake vaccine passport just to go into concerts, spring break parties etc... You are just fearmongering by being racist.
context: The US needs to do this also. >
  
  Everywhere needs to. >
  
  A bit too late for that... the us already has a lot of people infected and decided to lift restrictions(covid tests, masks etc.)  i don't see how they would start demanding covid tests for flights again only for china . Japan on the other hand still has mask mandates in certain places and other restrictions so it make more sense for their government to do it. >
  
  I don’t see how requiring simple tests from China would cause such a change of course?  It shouldn’t.  “Through March 25, 2023 - Covid tests required for passengers from direct connecting and interconnecting flights from China required”
  There’s no need for any other restrictions.  Simple test and deny entry outside of the airport. >

  Symbolic measure to dunk on China lol. Travel restrictions are worthless if the virus is endemic. >
  
  It's actually not. Half of China's 1.4billion population is expected to get covid in the in the next months. Japan is just trying to protect their health care system and people's health in general of unnecessary corona cases brought by Chinese tourists and travellers. >
