There are differences between the United States and China over the policy of international flights since the emergence of the epidemic

The United States said it suspended 44 flights of Chinese airlines in response to a similar step taken by Beijing, claiming to control the spread of the Corona virus.

And the Chinese authorities decided to suspend this large number of American flights for United Airlines, Delta Airlines, and American Airlines, following discovering that a number of its passengers had been infected with the epidemic.

In return, the United States is suspending flights by Xiamen Airlines, Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines.

Beijing described Washington’s decision as “illogical”, while the United States considered China’s decision to suspend this number of flights “punitive and unfair.”
