The Chinese travel and tourism economy grew 9.9% last year, more than twice the global rate and much faster than the 0.9% pace registered by the US, according to new data by the World Travel & Tourism Council, a trade group, and lead research partner Chase Travel.
China continues to accrue soft power in the world at the expense of the US. A mixed blessing I suppose, but deserved.
