datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">More than 1,900 flights from China to Japan scheduled for this month have now been cancelled, according to state media reports and travel experts, as a political dispute between the two nations over Taiwan grinds on.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The figure represented more than 40 per cent of the flights from mainland China to Japan scheduled for December, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported on Monday, citing data from online platforms.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Li Hanming, an independent civil aviation analyst, said his research indicated that CCTV\u2019s report was broadly accurate, adding that cancellations of flights to Japan also effectively stopped return flights, as airlines tended to schedule routes in pairs.<\/p>\n<div datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1xdhyk6 ec74h0k0\">Tensions between Beijing and Tokyo <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">escalated last month<\/span> after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested Japan could deploy military forces in the event of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait.<\/div>\n<div datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1xdhyk6 ec74h0k0\">Beijing issued a travel warning on November 14 urging Chinese citizens to avoid visiting Japan, citing safety issues, and several Chinese airlines <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">offered customers refunds<\/span> on Japan-bound flight bookings until the end of the year.<\/div>\n<div datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1xdhyk6 ec74h0k0\">Meanwhile, a string of events featuring Japanese performers \u2013 including concerts and a comedy festival \u2013 <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">have been spiked<\/span> in China, and several Japanese films have had their release dates on the mainland pushed back.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
