Fair enough.
China should pay for the suffering they caused the world.

NOO!!!! Australia, you bastards! I fly CX from Japan to Australia (transit in HK for a few hours) Jan 4th, arrive Aus 6am on Jan 5th, and the Australian government has today decided to introduce testing requirements for all flights from China (including HK and Macau) starting 12.01am Jan 5th.
For me in transit in HK, I am not sure I need to test or not and show when boarding in Tokyo, but lets assume I do, then next problem I dont know if a self administered RAT is fine or I need to get a PCR. If just a RAT I am fine (got a few in my suitcase and some old negative ones I used for 7 days in HK a few months ago). But if I have to get a PCR in Japan over new year now I'm screwed. Well, I can probably find a place somewhere in the next 2 days if I have to, but the biggest problem right now is I dont even know if I need to or not and whether I can just rock up to the airport and show the negative RAT or I need to do the full PCR bullshit.
I thought in 2023 we had seen the last of this nonsense!

It’s so easy to jump on the bandwagon just as most of the world did to the UK in December 2020. Still remember the pain, worry (and pleasure let’s be fair) of 21 days washout in Dubai plus 21 in QT.
Apparently it can be either a RAT or PCR however you need an official lab report.
I just checked in for my CX flight from Tokyo to Perth with transit in HK, arriving in Perth 5 hours after the 12:01 deadline on 5th. The CX check-in page didn't mention I have to get a test, said not required. But it also said the travel information was last updated Dec 29 which was before the new measures announced. So buggered if I know whether I should get a test or not.
Transit passengers are exempt:
