Source checked
The central instruction was checked against a named primary source. The page shows the check date, method and next review.
Trust center
Every guide tells you what we actually know.
“Last updated” can mean somebody changed a headline. Our status system records what was checked, when, how and against which source.
Needs recheck
The planning principle is useful, but an app flow, device condition or operational detail needs a fresh test.
Research draft
We do not yet have enough current primary evidence. The page may help frame questions, but not justify a purchase or booking.
Our evidence order
- Current official policy or operator instructions
- Current product behavior on a named device, account region or route
- Repeated traveler reports, clearly labeled as reports
- Older articles and search results, used only to find what needs checking
A source can support a national policy without proving what one hotel desk, app version or card issuer will do. We state that boundary and give the traveler a fallback.
What we do not claim
Chinista is independent. It is not an immigration authority, railway operator, attraction, hotel platform, mobile carrier or payment provider. Entry eligibility and transaction approval always belong to the relevant authority or provider.
