To add to FlightDetent's comments: unlike other countries, you should not expect any special treatment if you arrive as foreign crew into China during the pandemic. Anything more than a turnaround and you can expect the full quarantine, isolation and testing requirements as set by the local CDC: 14+7, 14+7+7, 21+7 days, or worse. This is why some airlines have resorted to staging via nearby hubs to avoid their crews being trapped here for extended periods.

Arrivals from HK are treated like any other international arrival, with full quarantine required. Quarantine-free entry from Macau is possible, but you must enter Macau and complete their quarantine and testing requirements first... so practically there's no real benefit there, unless you are based in Macau.

Are you operating out commercial, or private? PM me if you need further advice on private ops here.
