US set to allow four flights from China each week

Reuters carries fresh headlines on Monday, citing that the US is set to allow four flights from China each week.

This comes after the US threatened to block Chinese passenger flights from June 16 despite Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian noting the country's aviation authority was making "solemn representations" over the matter.

The US-China relationship has been soured over several issues, including Beijing coronavirus mishandling and the forceful security legislation on Hong Kong last month.
