This isn’t just a win for wanderlust: The Civil Aviation Administration of China confirms China-U.S. weekly flights will jump from 48 to 70, turbocharging business, tourism, and cultural exchanges. 💼✈️ CGTN’s You Yang will chat with travelers at Beijing Capital Airport about what this reconnection means for them.
