China and Tonga have a mutual visa exemption agreement, which allows Tongan citizens to enter China without a visa for up to 30 days with a private, diplomatic, or official passport. However, if the intended stay exceeds 30 days or if the purpose of the visit is for study, a visa application must be submitted in accordance with Chinese regulations (http://cs.mfa.gov.cn/wgrlh/lhqz/lhqzjj_660596/).
