BBC World Service - Weekend, China lifts travel restrictions

Visitors to the country will not quarantine

Quarantine is not necessary anymore for foreign travel into China as the county steps out of lockdown.

Also in the programme, even Orthodox Christmas couldn’t stop the fighting in Ukraine. And the film industry struggles to deal with sexual misconduct and abuse.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss this and more are Agathe Demarais, an economist and author and global forecasting director of the Economist Intelligence Unit in London and Gareth McLean, a British screenwriter and dramatist.
