Conference participants may need a Chinese visa to enter China.
Specifically, those who are not Chinese citizens, except passport
holders from Singapore, Brunei, and Japan, need a Chinese visa.
Participants can apply for a visa at the Chinese embassy or consulate in
the region in which they live. To avoid uncertainty, participants will
be advised to apply for a visa as early as possible. It is recommended
that they apply for a Chinese visa at least 1 month in advance.
For most attendees, it is easier to apply for a Tourist ("L") visa; an
invitation letter is NOT required for obtaining a Tourist visa.
