no need to get in real war - if US only need to default its chinese debts, china will be dead.

nah China will be fine with their 4 trillion dollars of reserves - they only hold 1.1 trillion of US debt

US defaulting will affect them more - most of the debt is owed to themselves

For all intents and purposes they are international flights, but china doesn't describe them as such. The signs at china airports say "international flights, and flights to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan".

mainland Chinese airlines don't get to fly domestic routes in Hong Kong, so Cathay Pacific can't fly domestic routes within mainland China.
