AllianzJD Launches Instant-Access Travel Insurance for International Visitors Coinciding With China’s Visa-Free Expansion

As China expands visa-free entry to global travelers, AllianzJD Insurance—a joint venture between JD.com and Allianz—has launched Charming China, its first comprehensive travel insurance designed specifically for international visitors. Combining Allianz’s 135 years of insurance expertise with JD.com’s digital innovation, the policy enhances safety and convenience for travelers exploring China’s cultural landmarks and vibrant cities.

Recent policy updates, including visa-free entry for citizens of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, France, Germany, and select Southeast Asian countries, have simplified travel to China. While these changes fuel growing interest in the country’s attractions, concerns about medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost luggage persist among international visitors.
