A trip to China is a big deal.  If you’re going there, chances are pretty good that you’ve been planning your trip for a while.  No doubt you are looking forward to seeing family and friends that you’ve been away from for years.  Or, perhaps you’re going to explore and experience China for the very first time.  That’s why you don’t want to risk any issues from an improperly prepared passport.

Beginning in 2007, Chinese passports are now valid for 10 years from the date of issue.  If you're planning to visit China for the 2008 Olympic Games and are not a special guest, you want to consider beginning the process for updating and applying for your passport immediately to avoid any delay.
