Can I go abroad with a passport? Do I need a visa?

You need a visa to go abroad unless you meet the visa-free conditions.

The Law of the People's Republic of China on Exit and Entry Administration clearly stipulates:

China citizens need to obtain visas or other entry permits to other countries or regions. However, unless the China government has signed visa exemption agreements with other governments or the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide otherwise.

travel documents international travelers should go through all formalities such as passports, visas and travel documents before going through the flight and exit formalities. Passport is the holder's nationality and identity certificate, and visa is the permission certificate of a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or their own citizens to enter or leave the country or pass through the country.

A visa to go abroad means to endorse (stamp) a passport or travel document held by a person, or to attach a label with a clear explanation, which indicates the reason for the holder to enter the country, the time allowed to stay, or the permission to travel to other countries through his territory.
