Ten years later SF Express of Shenzhen has taken over all UPS and FedEx package flying worldwide. FedEx flight operations is half it's current size. UPS has also reduced their international flying to only to/from USA.

What the ME3 are on the path towards doing is on scale far worse than anything we've ever seen. Something has to be done or our airlines will be a husk of what they are now.
And NRT 5th freedom flying is rapidly on the decline.
Empty threat.
ME3 has to be stopped. Period.
Cargo will be flown regardless. True country to country bilateral open skies (as opposed to the insane one sided capacity barfing of the ME3) will by nature include US cargo carriers. Big time.
Empty threat.
