The high cost will likely still keep the 'usual' tourists from visiting, is my guess.
I think China isn’t as attractive a destination as it was pre 2020 for either tourism or business.
I don’t expect this change to lead to a rush of people visiting either. Flight costs are a function of airlines gouging. I’ve taken UA, JL, CA, MU, NH MH and CX from/to China recently and all except for the CX flight to HKG had significant empty seats.
