Beijing opposes US move to suspend 44 China-bound flights


BEIJING (China Daily/Asia News Network): China has urged the United States to stop disrupting and restricting normal people-to-people exchanges between the two countries by politicising the Covid-19 pandemic prevention measures of airlines, after the US government announced the suspension of 44 China-bound flights from the country.

"Driven by its selfish pursuit of exceptional and special treatment, the US suspended passenger flights by Chinese airlines without any reason and disrupted their normal operation," Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian (pic) said at a regular news briefing on Monday (Jan 24).
