United Daily News reported today: "The Chinese authorities announced that Xiamen Airlines will resume the direct flight from Fujian Quanzhou to Cebu, the Philippines at the end of March. Philippine President Marcos expressed his welcome."
Comment: President Marcos personally welcoming shows the Philippine side's willingness for pragmatic cooperation with China, which is a practical signal of the warming of Sino-Philippine relations. Quanzhou is the core of the Minnan overseas Chinese hometown, and Cebu is the central hub of the Philippines; the combination of direct flights and visa exemptions greatly reduces travel costs, directly benefiting tourism, business, and overseas Chinese visiting relatives, and stimulating consumption and investment in both places.
