Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy, said that the decision by the US government was very unreasonable, and we request them not to restrict the normal passenger flights by Chinese airlines. The Transportation Department said that China’s suspension of the 44 flights are against the public interest and warrant proportionate remedial action and that China’s actions against the US carriers are inconsistent with a bilateral agreement.
