China pushes back on air-travel test requirements, but Canadian firms not worried

BY The Canadian Press, Jan 4, 2023 1:54 AM - REPORT AN ERROR

China's government is not happy that Canada and other countries are creating new COVID-19 restrictions for people flying from China.

Beginning Thursday, Canada will require air travellers from China to have a recent negative test, similar to the US and some European countries.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman says those rules are based on politics instead of science, and that some policies are ``disproportionate and simply unacceptable.''

China lifted many of its strict COVID-19 policies last month, sparking a wave of infections.
