Covid-19: China pushes for QR code based global travel system
Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for a "global mechanism" that would use QR codes to open up international travel.
"We need to further harmonise policies and standards and establish 'fast tracks' to facilitate the orderly flow of people," he said.
The codes will be used to help establish a traveller's health status.
But Human Rights advocates warn that the codes could be used for "broader political monitoring and exclusion".
Mr Xi made the comments at the G20 summit, an online meeting of heads of state from the world's 20 largest economies, which was hosted by Saudi Arabia over the weekend.
He said the codes could be used to recognise "health certificates based on nucleic acid test results", according to a transcript published by Chinese state news agency Xinhua.
Mr Xi didn't go into further detail about how the travel scheme might work, or how closely it would be modelled on China's QR code apps, which have been used to help contain the virus on the mainland.
"We hope more countries will join this mechanism," he added.

Nous devons tout faire pour déposséder la clique de Davos de son agenda de contrôle social mondial.
C'est une question de survie.
Il faut reprendre le pouvoir contre le futur hideux que les young global leaders veulent nous imposer.

“Well, shoot me now!
I want to get to work!
I have a meeting in 3 minutes!
I don’t have your damn code!”
This is a happy Parisian rejoicing at how safe Paris has become before the Olympics.
Those who have not passed the security check and have not bothered to obtain a quadcode in advance cannot get to work, or to the doctor, or home... if their destination is in the Olympics zone.
