Persons holding an APEC Business Travel Card do not require a visa, provided that it is valid for travel to China. Period of validity is stated on visas, and care should be taken when reading dates on visas for China as they are written in year/month/day format. Multiple-entry visas are no longer being issued by the Chinese government, but this is expected to change after the Olympics.
