Basically there will be zero flight from the U.S. to China by Chinese carriers from now to March 31.

Let's see if China would retaliate by suspending ALL UA/AA/DL flights to China.
I was surprised to read how many companies are trying to bring their supply chain, back to the US, or to other low-cost markets in Latin America.

I didn't think it was feasible, but I see the rationale if US/China go down divergent paths of Covid tolerance vs zero-tolerance.

UA's PVG operation may never return to the glory days of high occupancy and the likes of Apple consuming 50 J seats/day.
