CHINA???
Why would they ever let the Chinese in?
Are they looking to start the virus all over again?
We habe Greek Americans that can’t visit their families in their homeland but you leave the damn Chinese in the country.
You all should hang your heads in shame
The reason might be that China is the largest direct investor in Greece ;(
