Russia Closes East Border with China Due to Coronavirus
China is likely to gradually ease its border controls after the two sessions, the nation's most important annual political event, which is scheduled to kick off on Thursday and last one week.
Easing the controls will facilitate the resumption of international exchanges, as the COVID-19 pandemic has been basically brought under control in China and some other countries such as South Korea, experts said.

"China may relax border controls gradually after the two sessions or in early June," said Wang Hongwei, a professor at Renmin University of China's School of Public Administration and Policy in Beijing.
"Chinese students studying abroad who have graduated, important business leaders and much-needed production technicians, could get priority to return to China," Wang noted.
China will conduct test all inbound and outbound passengers and staff participating in immigration and transshipment work, strengthen closed-loop management and prevent local outbreaks from imported cases.
