Overview
China is listed in the Visa Atlas directory with stable ISO codes CN/CHN, capital Beijing. This directory covers 196 countries: the 193 United Nations member states plus the Holy See, the State of Palestine and Kosovo. That is a chosen editorial scope, not a universally accepted count — recognition and membership differ between organisations and governments, and listing a place here implies no political position.
