The tense China-Japan relations led to a sharp decline of 54% in the number of Chinese travelers going to Japan during the Spring Festival travel rush.

United Daily News reported today: "Sino-Japanese relations are tense, and the number of passengers traveling between China and Japan within the first week of the Spring Festival travel rush has decreased by about 54%, and the actual number of flights operating between the two countries has dropped by about 49% compared to the same period last year's Spring Festival travel rush."

After Japanese Prime Minister Asako Kaori made her "Taiwan issue" remarks in November last year, Sino-Japanese relations hit rock bottom.

Comment: Flights have been halved, passenger traffic has plummeted. This is not just about tourism data, but a breakdown of the fundamental aspects of national relations. This is not a short-term fluctuation, but a direct reflection of the deterioration of the relationship's fundamentals. It will be difficult for Sino-Japanese exchanges to return to the past unless Japan corrects its erroneous stance on Taiwan.
