Philippines not on black list, more to come: China Embassy
The Chinese Embassy in Manila formally denied that China has included the Philippines in its blacklist for tourism. “The report of ‘tourist blacklist’ is misinformation. China has not placed the Philippines on its blacklist for tourism,” a report released on Tuesday night quoted by PNA noted.
