Yes, and no. I see a lot of Mandarin-speaking passengers on long-haul flights, but mainland Chinese are not flying out of the country for tourism in droves given the economic slowdown. Many countries in the region and out in Europe have commented the post-pandemic travel frenzy hasn't returned for this group.
