    If the CCP ordered travel agencies to deliberately reduce the tourists to Japanby 40% as the article reports, that’s absolutely insane.

    I’ve never heard of anything quite like that in any country to control travel agencies like that.

  2. The important point is that even so, Japan’s inbound tourism revenue is projected to increase from 2025 onward (100.6%), and the total number of visitors is expected to decline only slightly (97.2%) due to travelers being replaced by tourists from other countries. With fewer flights coming from China, airport landing and takeoff slots will open up, making it easier for Japan to accept larger numbers of tourists from elsewhere. Tourism restrictions imposed by the CCP as a form of sanctions against Japan will likely have little real impact.

    Going to Japan is as cheap as Thailand soon it doesn’t matter. Plenty of people will come to Thailand #2
