If not booking tickets, clients are getting their paperwork in order, agents said. “The number of people applying for visas at embassies jumped quite a lot as soon as they heard quarantine-on-return was no longer necessary,” said Kang Yingzhang, who works at China Comfort Travel Group in Beijing.
The mixed feelings toward visitors from China illustrate how Beijing’s sudden reopening has created new and unwelcome risks for much of the world that long ago opted to live with the virus.

So if they take any action will they be called racist to? I'm sure that they will not.
