Management System on Official Overseas Trips Over the years, the Chinese Government has put in place a sound management
system on international trips for official business based on its national
conditions and social system, which has ensured smooth official trips abroad and
contributed to enhanced mutual understanding, friendship, communication and
mutually beneficial cooperation between China and the rest of the world. The
management system consists of the following: (I) Review and approval system on the mission of official trips overseas.
People traveling abroad on official business must obtain approval from agencies
at a higher level who are mandated to approve foreign-related activities. The
competent agencies would examine the necessity and purpose of the trip as well
as the composition of delegation. (II) Personnel review and approval system. It is undertaken by designated
agencies who would examine the criminal record, work performance and personal
qualities of the people who will take the trip. (III) Issuance of official passport. The dispatching agency applies for
official passport with competent authorities by submitting the approval of the
mission, approved list of travelers and other documents. The competent agencies
then issue passports according to relevant regulations after reviewing the
documents. In case of violations of regulations, fraud or deception, the
competent agencies are entitled to turn down the application. (IV) System of centralized safekeeping of official passports. Official
passports are centrally safekept by the Chinese Government according to the
principle of unified management, safekeeping at different levels, and clarified
responsibilities. Upon completing the overseas trip, the persons must quickly
return their passports to their work unit or competent authorities at a higher
level for record-keeping and safekeeping. This is to ensure that official
passports are used solely for official business overseas. II. Official Passports The Chinese Official Passports are categorized into two types: Diplomatic
