I mean, this news seems to be retaliatory action; from what I can tell. China had their reasons for suspension pretty clearly laid out:
"Don't fly a plane full of Covid-19 positive passengers to China, and you can continue to fly (at a reduced rate)."
As harsh and annoying as that strategy may be, I tend to agree here with "
Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington," who "
said Friday the policy for international passenger flights entering China has “been applied equally to Chinese and foreign airlines in a fair, open and transparent way.": 4 out of the nine flights that were recently suspended
WERE Chinese carrier flights.
This appears as if the two opposing parties are of unequal intellect, and the USA being the unreasonable one here, IMO.
