Abstract

Yunnan Province, situated as a pivotal gateway in China's southwestern frontier, shares borders with Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, encompassing a boundary line of approximately 4,060 kilometers. In 2024, the province witnessed over 24 million cross-border movements involving both local residents and international travelers, alongside more than 10,000 transnational marriages. However, current entry-exit policies for border residents have increasingly revealed systemic shortcomings in practical application. This study employs field investigations, case analyses, and policy document reviews to uncover the underlying logic of these policy deficiencies and to propose pathways for improvement.
