From having to travel to Helsinki just to apply for a visa, to now benefiting from China’s 240-hour visa-free transit policy, she's witnessed China's opening-up firsthand. She shares a touching anecdote about an elderly Finn who “didn't eat rice to save it for the Chinese” – a humorous misunderstanding that reflects what many feel toward China.
