Chinese travellers are estimated to have cancelled hundreds of thousands of flights to Japan amid reports of suspended visa processing and cultural exchanges as a diplomatic dispute over Japan’s stance on Taiwan continues.

Under pressure from business groups, Japan has sent a senior diplomat to Beijing in an attempt to calm tensions after Japan’s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, said her country could get militarily involved if China attempted to invade Taiwan.

Her comments prompted fury from China’s government, which issued warnings against Chinese travellers and students going to Japan.

Why edit the title just to make it wrong? 500.000 tickets, not flights.

I just cross posted with original title but you are right it's confusing. I changed it.
