BEIJING, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) — The Chinese government recently released guidelines to improve the convenience of digital services for foreigners in mainland China and Chinese citizens living in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan, aiming to improve basic digital services and digital payment systems.
The document was jointly developed by 11 central government agencies, including the National Internet Office, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the People's Bank of China, with the aim of further promoting high-level opening-up in the country. Its text was posted on Thursday on the National Internet Office website.
The recommendations call for eliminating bottlenecks in digital services for foreigners and making the digital service system more internationalized and user-friendly.
The document outlines 14 measures, including strengthening basic digital services by providing more affordable telecommunications services and improving the convenience of digital payments by supporting the use of more overseas e-wallets in mainland China.
The document also provides for the expansion of digital services in foreign languages, encouraging relevant service platforms to provide translation functions or multilingual versions.
Improved digital services should be provided to help foreigners better navigate tourism, shopping, and dining. Efforts should also be made to make information about integrated digital services available on mobile apps widely used by foreigners in China, the document states.
It also proposes improving digital services for foreigners in the areas of healthcare, education, investment, and public administration, emphasizing the need to strengthen cybersecurity and enhance the protection of personal information. -0-
