Direct flights between China and Luxembourg have started. The first plane with 146 passengers, which took off from Zhengzhou city in China’s Henan province, landed at Luxembourg Airport.
Roland Reiland, Luxembourg’s ambassador to China, says that the direct flights will allow Chinese tourists to visit neighboring countries such as Germany and France more easily.
China has imposed a 34% customs duty on all US goods in response to the same rate announced by US President Donald Trump. The move includes trade restrictions on rare earth exports critical to tech and defense industries and the suspension of chicken imports from two US firms.
China also blacklisted 11 American companies, including major defense and tech firms, banning them from trade with Chinese entities. Additionally, China filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization, calling the US tariffs a violation of global trade rules and an act of “unilateral bullying.”
