China is simplifying entry for a number of foreign nationals.
Interstate agreements regulate relations between two states, and it has been previously known that Serbia and later Bosnia and Herzegovina have a visa-free regime with China. However, states have the right to conduct their own visa-free policies, meaning they can allow other nationals visa-free entry into their country.

The Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Government of the People's Republic of China on the Abolition of Visas for Holders of Ordinary Passports was signed on November 5, 2016. A visa is not required for stays of up to 30 days from the date of entry into China.
As of May 29, 2018, holders of valid ordinary passports of the PRC and holders of valid ordinary passports of Bosnia and Herzegovina are exempt from the obligation to obtain a visa for entry, exit, stay, or transit through the territory of the other contracting party. TAG

Motivated by a recent phone conversation in which we were asked to recommend a reliable seller on Aliexpress, we decided to write this text.

We actually don’t use Aliexpress simply because it’s not accessible from China – Chinese buyers actually have no way to access this platform. Another caller asked if they should buy an excavator from Alibaba, which was selling for €200.
We can’t help you if you think this way! Ask yourself – is that even possible?
But that’s not the reason for writing this text.
We are writing because, in a relatively short period, we received three emails (from Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia), in which people complain about being scammed in one way or another.
What all three letters have in common is that the buyers made purchases independently, without involving us.
Here are those letters.
