Cutting through an overload of information to get to the heart of the story.
This is The Point.
Has the Western propaganda campaign against China failed?
foreign or international visitor numbers, let me say,
are skyrocketing during the first half of the year.
Beijing saw a year-on-year increase of 37%.
Shanghai's Pudong International Airport alone saw a surge of 46% of international visits.
The more the merrier.
This built on the upward trend that started to gain momentum last year after China relaxed the visa requirements unilaterally for international visitors.
So what's fueling the sudden China travel rush?
What can we expect going forward?
And what remains to be done to make China more accessible?
