China → Greenland
A bare ordinary Chinese passport is not visa-free for Greenland; the visa sticker must expressly be valid for Greenland.
The Danish Immigration Service lists China as visa-required; a Danish/Schengen visa by itself is not valid for Greenland. Most routes transit a Schengen country such as Denmark or Iceland, so separate Schengen entry/transit permission may also be needed.
