Do I need to apply for a visa when I go abroad? Can I leave the country with a passport?

The Chinese passport issued to you by China** is an ID card that you can use abroad, indicating that you are a Chinese citizen. and your entry permit when you return to China, otherwise how will the border control know that you are Chinese. A visa is a permit given by other countries to enter their country for a certain period of time and for how long they stay, and it is not the same thing as a passport.

It is not possible to enter that country without the (permit) visa given to you by that country. With only a passport and no visa, where do you go after you leave China? Unless there is an agreement between countries, you can enter and stay for a certain period of time without a visa.

After immigrating to other countries, many Chinese change their nationality, become citizens of other countries, give up their Chinese passports, change their passports to other countries, and although they still retain their Chinese domestic identity cards, they are no longer Chinese citizens, and they cannot enter China casually, and they must apply for visas from China and enter China only after they are approved. At present, there are not many countries that can enter without a visa with a Chinese passport, so generally speaking, yes, you need to apply for a visa for the country you want to go to (you need another permit to go to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan), and you can't go abroad with only a passport.

A visa is required to travel abroad, unless the conditions for visa exemption are met.

The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Exit and Entry clearly stipulates that:

Chinese citizens traveling to other countries or regions also need to obtain a visa or other entry permit certificate from the country to which they are traveling. However, except for the mutual visa exemption agreements signed by China and other countries, or as otherwise stipulated by the Ministry of Public Security or others.

International passengers with travel documents should complete all formalities such as passports, visas and travel documents before check-in and departure procedures. A passport is proof of the holder's nationality and identity, while a visa is a certificate of permission for a sovereign state to allow foreign citizens or its own citizens to enter or exit or pass through the country.

An exit visa is an endorsement (stamp) or a label attached to a person's passport or travel document with a clear description indicating the holder's reason for entering the country, the permitted duration of stay, or permission to travel through their territory to another country.
