Loads of cities in China for $748 from Melbourne ; and $768 from Sydney.

I haven't listed out all the routes, but here are the cities I found that were working at these prices (might be more):

Beijing (PKX)
Changsha (CSX)
Chongqing (CKG)
Fuzhou (FOC)
Harbin (HRB)
Hangzhou (HGH)
Jinan (TNA)
Kunming (KMG)
Lijiang (LJG)
Ningbo (NGB)
Nanjing (NKG)
Qingdao (TAO)
Shanghai (SHA)
Shenyang (SHE)
Shijiazhuang (SJW)
Tianjin (TSN)
Wuhan (WUH)
Wuxi (WUX)
Xiamen (XMN)
Xi'an (XIY)

Sydney dates are pretty limited, quite a few more from Melbourne. All flights are via Guangzhou on China Southern.

FYI China is now somewhat open, you don't need to quarantine, but you do still need a negative COVID test.

                @ozbking: I could not read the first article but i do remember to watch his speech at National Press Club. I did not remember he was talking about re-education of taiwan.
                i could not understand what they were talking about in the second link.
                Even two diplomats speak does not make it a policy and to make a link of re-education camp is the work of western media at its best.

          totally agree. Taiwan passport is shown Republic of China. Not Country Taiwan

          As you said:
          If you think ROC should represent China instead PRC then fine, we can talk about that, but saying Taiwan is not part of China is just plain stupid

          If people dont like Xi is fine, if people want another Party or person in charge of PRC or ROC is also fine.

          BUT, Taiwan and main land are both part of CHINA

            @formatc: @formatc That is NOT true. Taiwan has original Taiwanese inhabitants (similar to our Aborigines).

            The ruling Chinese party migrated there (after their defeat in mainland). Saying Taiwan is part of "CHINA" is like saying Australia is part of the UK (coz people were from Britain) or NZ is part of Australia (just coz we are close)?

            Why you think you can threaten China!!! China in 2023 is not China in 1847. You threaten China because of USA military power, but USA did not win over China in Korean war, when China just finish its civil war and China was war torn country. What give you confidence, that USA can win over China now!!!

                @shkippy: I watched the video, there is no new information in that video for me. China said Taiwan is part of China long before TSMC even establish. In fact some information is bit out of date now. USA forced TSMC to build factories in USA to produce its latest chips, its not just moved production line, but also over 600 engineers.
                In the video there is one line caught my interest: Taiwan is part of first island chain to keep China at bay. If this is not imperialist, I do not know what it is.

              @jowu15: Invasion isn’t about whether Taiwan is part of China or not. The term invasion means for “ an armed force to enter (a country or region) so as to subjugate or occupy it.”
              Sure Taiwan is a region, just like Victoria, , or Donbas, or Australia.

              The problem with your thinking is that you are wanting strict borders everywhere. Why can’t it be more like the EU with freedom of movement, and preferably the same currency in a stable economy?

              The Chinese government is missing out on its opportunity to become a soft power leader, and develop a trading union that other countries actually look towards. Instead it is stuck in the imperialistic mindset, especially with the talks of invading Taiwan and the south China seas.

                  @shkippy: Its all about USA imperialism thats why its want to keep China in the first island chain that Taiwan is part. Semiconductors is only a tool to repress China and lock China inside of first island chain that USA developed.

                @ozbking: Most countries don't even recognize Taiwan as an independent country. The Commies moving their military from the mainland to Taiwan is just like the American army units moving units from Texas to Alabama. I love watching Chinese military parades, all the weaponry and the disciplined troops.

                If countries want to show support for Taiwan, recognize it as a separate country. But all our cowardly government cares about is trade deals with the Communist Party.

                    @Kvs: I do not know where you get confidence to describe me but you imagination about me is totally wrong. I arrived in AU in 1990 and stayed in Geelong for a year before went to Monash University in Melbourne. When I was in Geelong I had months had no one to speak Chinese to except when I rang my family in China, but I could not do it often because calls to China cost about $2.8 a minutes.

                    I have very few Chinese friend because there were very few Chinese students in Monash in early 1990s. My working environment had very few Chinese. I was quite custommed to not speak Chinese till these days, my family here not speak Chinese.

                    I was quite against PRChina till 2008 when I no longer believe western freedom of speech. I see many dark side in politics and business in western countries during my years in business. I see little difference between western politics and Chinese politics these days. China was not as bad as I thought and western is not as good as i thought in my youth.

                    I use wechat with my family in China i have few then 15 friends on wechat. I do not watch CCTV, I heard about redbook but I never even looked redbook, it that a website or app?

                      China was not as bad as I thought and western is not as good as i thought in my youth.

                      And here we finally get to the crux of the matter. It has nothing really to do with if China has the right or not to invade Taiwan, but which system you think is the lesser evil. In the era of Trumpism/far right populist leaders & weaponised misinformation it seems like the beginning of the end for democracy and I admit I have recently gone through a similar thought process, but my conclusion is entirely different.

                      As an example, in the US one infamous example is the torture used in Guantanamo bay in the name of freedom. A key difference between the US and China is the US have since passed laws to prevent the same thing happening again. If China was the one in charge of Guantanamo, I don't think we would hear about it (like Uyghurs in Xinjiang). So while it is not perfect I would prefer the US system of being held to some accountability as opposed to "out of sight, out of mind".

                      I will admit I am in awe of China's policies lifting 770 million of its citizens out of poverty in just four decades. But what if a leader with sociopathic tendencies and disregard for the people they govern makes their way to power? In a true democracy, deposing a leader is somewhat easier than an authoritarian regime.

                      While both systems are far from perfect, until a better option presents itself, I will try and be content with our current system in Australia.

Then you tell me what make you feel like that? You against AU gov and then you disappeared? You didn't support PM and ask he down then the gov put you into the jail?

                      I'm not saying so called west countries are heaven, China also not hell since you got your parents and friends here at least. But funny thing is, you still choose live in AU instead of China. That's a smart choice since you know it's safe to stay AU to like China.

                      Sorry but you seems lost our topic, we are talking about where you got your information and news from if you stay oversea but not watch so called western media like CNN, BBC and ABC etc. Also you said you information source not from China propaganda, so I am pretty curious about your daily news and information source.

      Why did she go?… She would have stayed in quarantine for weeks anyway. Must have been real important?

    When my friend went there he was shadowed by a pair of government goons the whole time. They would 'bump into' him wherever he went in the city, be eating food in the cafe across the street glancing over, and probing about his opinions of the government whenever they reappeared from thin air around a corner.

    I would not risk my life in that place even if the tickets were free. One wrong word and you're in the gulag for life.

      Reportedly there are millions of foreigners to visit China each year, apparently China cannot cover everyone of them.
      So here is my question, why your friend?

      I'm pretty sure loan sharks follow bad debt into other countries as well ;P

    20 years ago, China was an amazing place to visit…now, forget it

      That's because 20 years ago you went as part of poverty tourism.

        And China puts on a good poverty show. Like actors performing traditional and extremely inefficient farming methods for tourists.
