"US Airlines Push for Limits on China Flights, Citing Anti-Competitive Policies"
US airline lobbying groups are urging the Biden Administration to prevent Chinese airlines from adding service to the United States, citing unfair advantages such as the use of Russian airspace and government support. However, the argument is deemed weak as these advantages apply to many airlines, and the real motivation appears to be protecting high yields and maximizing profits for US airlines. The request is seen as self-serving, as increased transpacific service from Chinese airlines could benefit international travelers.
