Officials from the two countries signed a pact yesterday that will welcome up to 250,000 more Chinese travelers into the U.S. by 2011 and open the country to group tours. Previously, Chinese travelers were only permitted into the U.S. for business, government or educational reasons, writes USA Today’s Barbara De Lollis. The pact, which takes effect in spring 2008, also allows U.S. destinations to market themselves in China for the first time.

Why do Chinese/Japanese travel in groups? To save money on interpreters/tourist guides.
U.S. should grant Chinese all visa applications. There is no quicker way to get rid of the Chinese communism than granting Chinese free access to the U.S.
