Beijing Threatens Response to COVID Testing on Pax from China

The Chinese government has criticized COVID-19 testing requirements imposed on passengers originating in China, Hong Kong and Macau, and it has threatened to retaliate against countries involved, which includes Canada, the U.S., and several European nations, among others, reports CTV News.
