Harbin the largest Chinese city in the North, is in lockdown. Cases have spiked there, probably because of the open border with Russia. This happened 23/24 Apr.

“China Eastern Airlines, the country’s second-largest domestic carrier, plans to resume 70% to 80% of flights by the end of June and make further increases through August.”

People will figure it out.

Having flown a fair amount in China recently I can tell you it is nowhere near the 40-50% mark. Guangzhou airport is almost a ghost town. Nowhere near anything normal. All the businesses are open but most still wear a mask and the malls are empty. The Labour day holiday brought a small uptick this week for May1-5 but travel will drop to nothing afterwards. Believe it or not, the most desired city for travel for Chinese this year is Wuhan. Things are far from normal. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/w...vey/index.html
