Does a Filipino passport holder need a visa for a business trip to China (PRC)?
As the title says, does a Filipino passport holder need a visa for a short business trip to China.
If it makes a difference the person is resident in the UK and also has a British passport. So, the real question is which is easier to use?
Edit: Unfortunately the trip is off. It cannot be arranged in time. She needed to be there on Monday.

With either Filipino or British nationality, you normally need a visa to visit China for business or tourism.
The exceptions are:
Filipino citizens with an APEC Business Travel Card endorsed for China can visit visa-free for up to 60 days.
Both nationalities can get a visa on arrival for tourism at certain Chinese ports, but require pre-approval by the Chinese government. For a business visit, an existing Chinese business needs to invite you (in addition to the government pre-approval). As I understand it this scheme is fairly new, but it is in Timatic, so airlines should not give you any trouble with it.
