Biden suspends 44 U.S flights by Chinese carriers after China action

I’d say this was extremely racist and xenophobic. I would, but I’m not an asshole.

Reuters-

(Reuters) – The U.S. government said on Friday it would suspend 44 China-bound flights from the United States by four Chinese carriers in response to the Chinese government’s decision to suspend some U.S. carrier flights over COVID-19 concerns.

The suspensions will begin on Jan. 30 with Xiamen Airlines’ scheduled Los Angeles-to-Xiamen flight and run through March 29, the Transportation Department said.

The decision will cut some flights by Xiamen, Air China (601111.SS), China Southern Airlines (600029.SS) and China Eastern Airlines (600115.SS).

Since Dec. 31, Chinese authorities have suspended 20 United Airlines , 10 American Airlines (AAL.O)and 14 Delta Air Lines (DAL.N)flights, after some passengers tested positive for COVID-19. As recently as Tuesday, the Transportation Department said the Chinese government had announced new U.S. flight cancellations.

Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, 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.”

  1. I remember quite well when covid-19 hit China hard, did Trump stop flights from there, hell no. He first claimed it was fake. Then claimed it was democratic hoax, then a Chinese/democratic hoax. It was 2 months or more before something was done to curb flights from China, by then it was too late.

  2. You’re an idiot ^^^
    When Trump said they should, they called him racist.

    He never said rona was a hoax, he said the dems’ psychotic, fascistic behavior over it, was the hoax.
    Go copy/ paste your bullshit talking points back on demtard underground where you belong.

    Idiot.

  3. And further, the chinese will just come through the US / Mexico border or inside shipping containers [Have you even bothered to read about smuggling through California?]. Which biden has done nothing to fix, and has made 1000X worse.
