Sitting Next to a Dog on Your Next Flight in China? Here's What You Need to Know


For many pet owners, planning a holiday comes with one big question: who will take care of their pet?

图片

In China, more airlines are now making it possible for passengers to travel with their pets in the cabin, instead of leaving them behind or using traditional pet cargo transport.


According to Chinese media reports, more than 10 domestic airlines have launched pet-in-cabin services under certain conditions. China Southern Airlines has expanded the service to 35 domestic airports and 760 routes, while Xiamen Airlines now offers it on more than 270 routes, covering popular destinations including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. Some airlines, including Hainan Airlines and Tianjin Airlines, have also extended similar services to certain international routes.

The service is also becoming easier to identify when booking flights. Some airlines, including China Eastern, China Southern, and Spring Airlines, have added “pet-friendly flight” labels on some ticket booking pages, with reminders for passengers choosing seats near pets.


However, this does not mean every pet can simply board the cabin.


Most airlines only accept domesticated cats and dogs, and pets usually need to be at least eight weeks old, healthy, free from infectious diseases, and without strong odors. Pets that are sick, aggressive, pregnant, nursing, or within 48 hours after giving birth are generally not accepted.


Some airlines may also restrict certain flat-faced dog or cat breeds due to breathing risks.

Pet owners usually need to prepare a valid quarantine certificate, vaccination records, and an airline-approved pet carrier. During the flight, the pet must stay inside the carrier. Some airlines may also require pets to wear diapers, while dogs may need to wear a muzzle throughout the journey.


Fees for pet-in-cabin services are usually around RMB 1,000 to 1,500, while booking a separate seat for a pet may cost extra. Applications usually need to be made through official channels more than 24 hours before departure.


As pet ownership continues to grow in China, pet travel is becoming a new service area for airlines. A 2026 industry report shows that China’s urban dog and cat population exceeded 126 million in 2025, and the pet consumer market is expected to reach RMB 405 billion by 2028.


For pet owners planning to fly in China, the key reminder is: check with the airline before booking


Rules may vary by airline, route, aircraft type, pet size, breed, documents, and available quota. Even if an airline offers pet-in-cabin service, not every flight may be eligible.

国令第837号对外投资新规解读 出海合规边界与风险要点2026

2026年7月1日起施行的国令第837号,将对外投资监管从股权比例转向实质控制与经营参与,居民个人首次纳入监管主体,技术出境延伸至人员与服务。本文面向拟出海或已布局境外的企业及个人,梳理投资关系、技术转移、个人投资、权益保护四类边界,并给出三项合规准备建议,助您在细则出台前识别风险、降低跨境信任成本。

派工程师去越南工厂指导生产、在新加坡设立公司方便结算、老板个人在海外持有房产、为境外子公司提供担保或内部融资——2026年7月1日起,上述行为均受《国务院关于对外投资的规定》(国令第837号,以下简称"837号令")约束,无论当事人此前如何定性。不是监管层级提升,而是识别逻辑根本转变:从"业务行为"转向"投资关系"。边界清晰,意味着规则可预期、风险可识别。

投资关系的边界:从股权到实质控制。第2条将对外投资界定为:以投入资产、权益或提供融资、担保等方式,直接或间接获得其他国家(地区)企业、资产的所有权、控制权、经营管理权及其他相关权益的活动。"间接"与"经营管理权"是两个关键变量。监管不再以股权比例为主要判断依据,实质控制与经营参与同样触发适用。境外驻场运营、跨境融资支持、关联担保安排,只要符合上述特征,均纳入统一监管框架。适用不设规模门槛,行为类型是核心标准。

技术出境的边界:从货物到人员与服务。第13条明确禁止以跨境派遣技术人员、提供技术指导、安排境外培训等方式,向境外转移国家禁止或限制出口的技术与服务。出口管制的适用范围,由此从货物出口延伸至通过人员与服务实现的技术转移。是否触发,取决于所涉技术是否列入《中国两用物项出口管制清单》或《中国禁止和限制出口技术目录》。多数企业既未系统梳理技术清单,HR外派流程亦未纳入出口管制审查,该等漏洞在837号令施行后构成明确法律风险。

监管主体的边界:从企业到居民个人。第2条明确投资者包括居民个人。第33条授权国务院投资/商务主管部门制定居民个人境外投资的具体管理办法。此前,发改委11号令与商务部3号令均未将自然人列为明确监管主体。837号令是行政法规层面首次将居民个人纳入对外投资管理体系。监管逻辑由"企业主体"向"企业—个人—关联结构"整体穿透延伸。配套细则尚未出台,但方向明确。个人境外持股、信托安排与ODI结构之间的合规一致性,需在此前完成评估与必要调整。

权益保护的边界:从协定条款到国内制度。第20条明确驻外外交机构在突发事件下对中国公民及企业的协助义务。第23至25条建立投资壁垒调查与反制机制:企业遭遇歧视性限制,商务主管部门可启动调查并采取反制措施;情节严重者,相关外国组织可被列入反制清单。上述机制将此前散落于双边投资协定中、普通企业难以触达的保护路径,转化为国内法框架下的制度工具。实际使用前提是:完备的证据链与专业的申请方案。

综上:合规能力即竞争能力。837号令意义不在于收紧,而在于为中企出海建立可预期制度框架。合规结构越清晰,跨境融资、并购谈判与政府沟通中的信任成本越低,议价空间越大。企业当下应完成三项工作:按第2条标准全面梳理公司与个人两个层面的对外投资关系;将技术出境纳入常态合规管理;在配套细则出台前完成结构评估与必要调整。合规风险的积累先于细则的发布而非同步,有清晰边界的地图才能走得更稳更远。

As a top 2% IB school globally, WISS showed this semester that great results come from helping every student find their voice.


One of the best moments was seeing a Grade 12 student from Japan deliver a fluent, powerful speech at graduation—despite having arrived four years ago knowing only one phrase in English.


The school’s focus on growth was also evident in the younger grades. Grade 5 students finished their year with a special project on student wellbeing, exploring how to stay healthy and happy while learning. 


Meanwhile, Grade 10 students continued their dedicated work supporting children with disabilities—a project that grew from a school trip to Sanya into a long-term commitment.


The season ended with the 'Crossing the Bridge' ceremony, where the whole school lined up to cheer for the youngest students moving into Primary.


It was a perfect reminder that while WISS students aim high, they do so with the support of a community that celebrates every step of their journey.

NAIS Pudong's 2026 MIT Challenge

图片


AI can generate answers. But can it imagine what doesn’t yet exist?


Creativity isn’t about finding the right answer. It’s about exploring possibilities, testing ideas, learning from failure, and trying again.


Through Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong's collaboration with MIT, students are challenged to solve real-world problems that don’t come with a ready-made solution.


This year’s objective was simple yet powerful: demonstrate how teamwork can achieve what individuals cannot accomplish alone.


图片


Sarah H., above, one of NAIS Pudong's 2026 MIT Challenge winners, reflected on the experience:

"There wasn't one correct answer. We had to keep changing our ideas and learning from what didn't work."

In an AI-driven world, the ability to imagine, create, and innovate will matter more than ever.


That is why learners must be challenged to aim high—and given the right opportunities, like the MIT Challenge, to think creatively, solve boldly, and bring original ideas to life.


AI can generate. But young people still need to imagine. And that is where real learning lies.
