China COVID update - Chinese people can travel abroad from January 8 2023

I posted yesterday on :

• China will drop COVID-19 quarantine requirement for arrivals from overseas from January 8

The other leg of this, allowing Chinese people to travel overseas, was not addressed by the announcement.

However, the latest from Chinese state media is that:

• Chinese citizens' applications for ordinary passports for tourism and visits abroad from January 8, 2023, said the China's National Immigration Administration has said it'll resume processing Chinese citizens' applications for ordinary passports for tourism and visits abroad from January 8, 2023

As China gradually reopens oil and China-proxy trades (AUD for example) will see tailwinds.
