The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China announced last week that it resumed the outbound team travel to 78 countries and regions, including the United States, Germany, Japan, and Australia.So far, 138 countries and regions have been included in the list of Chinese outbound teams, but Canada is not among them.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) local time on Wednesday (August 16) reported that the Chinese government's "obviously cold" Canada will exclude Canada from the destination list of the international tourism group.It is in a competitive disadvantage during the recovery process after the epidemic.
The Public Affairs Office of the Chinese Embassy in Canada said in response to the CBC inquiry that the so -called "Chinese interference" in Canada has repeatedly speculated in the near future."

The Canadian government approved the entry of Chinese tourists for the first time in 2010.The Canadian Tourism Administration pointed out that China was the largest source of Asia -Pacific tourists in Canada in 2019, and it was also the largest tourist consumer market.

Many Canadian media have accused the Chinese government and their diplomats trying to manipulate Canadian elections in the past year. The Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in early May that a Chinese diplomat was led by Chinese diplomats."People" and asked her to leave the country.This series of incidents caused the relationship between the two countries to fall into the bottom.
Zhu Feng, dean of the School of International Relations of Nanjing University, analyzed during an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that China has always hoped that Canada has played a role in promoting alleviating Sino -US relations, but the current government has fallen towards the United States in the competition between China and the United States, leading toChina expresses "dissatisfaction and anger" by traveling restrictions.
In view of the current diplomatic choice and domestic political situation in Canada, Zhu Feng believes that China's move is limited in the short term.However, he also pointed out that China -Canada's trade volume is still growing, and the relationship between the two countries still has the opportunity to improve. "It depends on whether both parties can do each other and give each other more understanding."
On the other hand, after China and the United States rarely exposed cooperation intentions and announced that the number of passenger flights between the two countries will double, the three largest US airlines in the United States, USA, United Airlines and Da Mei Airlines have announced their increase.Flights will increase the number of such flights in the next few months.
According to the statistics of Bloomberg, the above three aircraft companies have proposed a total of 19 flights to add 19 flights by January next year, more than that of the Sino -US officials that have previously announced the addition of 12 flights.This means that some new flights may not be approved, unless the two countries further increase the number of round -trip flights.
