Beijing, which canceled 490,000 plane tickets to cripple the Japanese economy, faced an unexpected reaction: Instead of panicking, the Japanese people said &#8220;Thank you&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>In this video, we examine how China&#8217;s &#8220;Tourism Weapon&#8221; backfired and the failure of Wallet Diplomacy:<\/p>\n<p>A BOYCOTT THAT BACKFIRED: Xi Jinping wanted to punish Japan, but the Japanese rejoiced because they were rid of the &#8220;overtourism&#8221; problem. Kyoto streets were cleaned, temples found peace.<\/p>\n<p>CHINA&#8217;S ECONOMIC SUICIDE: The ban hit Chinese airlines harder than Japanese ones. The most profitable routes were closed, and companies reported losses. The tears of couriers unable to take orders on the streets of Ningbo reveal the deflationary spiral in the Chinese economy.<\/p>\n<p>JAPAN&#8217;S &#8220;UPGRADE&#8221; STRATEGY: Japan turned the crisis into an opportunity by focusing on Western &#8220;high-spending&#8221; tourists instead of China&#8217;s cheap and crowded tourists.<\/p>\n<p>GEOPOLITICAL CONFRONTATION: China&#8217;s &#8220;cowardly&#8221; economic response to Prime Minister Takaichi&#8217;s Taiwan statement proved Beijing&#8217;s deterrent power had waned.<\/p>\n<p>This graph shows how Japan&#8217;s tourism revenue was balanced by &#8220;high-profile tourists,&#8221; despite the decline in the number of Chinese tourists.<br \/>\nIf you like our analyses, you can support us by buying us a coffee \u2615\ufe0f https:\/\/buymeacoffee.com\/pprglobal<\/p>\n<p>We support Ukraine&#8217;s official project,  @UNITED24media<br \/>\nWe are sharing United24&#8217;s campaigns for Ukraine with you.
