Foreign companies welcomed China's decision to end quarantines for travellers from abroad as an important step to revive slumping business activity while Japan on Tuesday joined India in announcing restrictions on visitors from the country as infections surge.
The ruling Communist Party's abrupt decision to lift some of the world's strictest anti-virus controls comes as it tries reverse an economic downturn. It has ended curbs that confined millions of people to their homes and sparked protests, but hospitals have been flooded with feverish, wheezing patients as the virus spreads.
Business groups have warned companies were shifting investment away from China because foreign executives were blocked from visiting. The move "will potentially boost business confidence," but companies are likely to "wait to see how the situation on the ground evolves" before making long-term decisions, the European Chamber of Commerce in China said in a statement.
That follows India's decision last week to begin requiring a negative virus test for travellers from China, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Thailand. Starting last month, the ruling party has gradually joined the United States and other governments that are trying to live with the virus by treating infections instead of imposing blanket quarantines on cities or neighbourhoods.
The outbreaks prompted complaints Beijing relaxed controls too abruptly. Officials say the wave began before the changes.
