On November 7, SinoGuide, an information service app for foreigners developed under the joint guidance of the Cyberspace Administration of China and the National Immigration Administration, was officially launched at the World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit. It was simultaneously made available on major Android app stores.

The new app integrates updates on policies and news, everyday services, and language assistance. Available in both Chinese and English, it provides foreigners, including visitors to and residents in China, with authoritative information across such fields as government affairs, public services, economy, and science and technology. The app also features 31 commonly used online services covering payments, transportation, healthcare, and education, supporting high-frequency scenarios including exit-entry policy inquiries, stay reminders, exchange-rate checks, online payments, ride-hailing, food delivery, utility bill payments, and language learning. It also enables instant translation of Chinese-language interfaces, thereby helping non-Chinese users better experience China's efficient, convenient, and friendly digital life.

Looking forward, the app's functions will be further optimized, while the iOS version is expected to be launched soon and made available on international app stores.
