My Chinese friends and people w/ Chinese partners on this site often talk about problems Chinese nationals have with getting visas to other countries. I've heard that parts of SE Asia are fairly easy to get visas, but not Japan or South Korea. And that the UK and the US can be nightmares. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere that ranks countries in terms of how difficult it is for Chinese to get visas there? I would be interested in seeing it and knowing the reasons why.

Here is a link! You should find it somewhat useful and it has a lot of insight. I would have to agree that the US is one of them. Hong Kong and Thailand are probably two of the easiest places. And NK probably stands up there as one of the most difficult in my mind. Nobody wants to go there or any of those war stricken countries like Iraq, Iran.

here is another link, that may be a little informative ...
NiceBrice:
Thanks! That's pretty interesting.
Anyone else surprised by the insanely specific things you can find on wikipedia?
Basically any large developed country restricts immigration and tourist visa because the people will try and stay permanently. With a US, Canadian,UK, Auzy etc passport you can go to many places without a visa or easily get one, because those countries want the tourist dollars and they are sure that person will probably return home and not end up on the welfare system,,,like many do in Canada.
Canada also has too much reverse discrimination policies, try getting a government or airport job if you are a native born caucasian male. When I phone a government office in Toronto, I can't understand what the people are saying. I wonder if they farmed out those jobs just so the people will sound like the people that handle phone calls for Bell etc.( i another country) ''On yess, a verrry good day to you sir, I am verrry pleased to be helping you, my name is Abu.''

Jobs? What jobs. MacDs only used to hire kids, now they hire grandmas.
Taiwan doesn't issue visas at all to mainland Chinese. In fact, Taiwan doesn't even recognise mainland passports.
bighair:
That's not true, there're many people in mainland visit taiwan each year.
Traveler:
They have travel documents, not visas.
Taiwan doesn't recognise China as a separate country, so therefore doesn't recognise it's passports, and doesn't issue visas to mainland Chinese.
I am from Brazil, my Chinese friends told me that is difficult to get visa to here :(
It seems, for Chinese, there are only ten or so countries for vise-free like Pakistan.
