A direct Perth-Shanghai flight could become a tourism windfall or be used as a 'political weapon'

Analysts suggested Palau's diplomatic ties with Taiwan were to blame for Beijing effectively banning Chinese people from Palau.

Dr Chen said Taiwanese tourist operators had recently experienced similar market manipulation, but said WA was at a low risk of such action. "Just on the basis of regional experiences, hypothetically you can't rule out a scenario [in WA] where dependency can breed political, diplomatic leverage or issues which can be used as leverage by the Chinese Government," he said.The State Government's tourism authority, Tourism WA, has allocated $1 million to market WA in Shanghai ahead of the trial.

Unusually, the Government also paid for a journalist and camera operator from 7 News Perth to fly with Tourism Minister Paul Papalia to Shanghai to promote the first flight to Perth."In conjunction with China Eastern Airlines, Tourism WA paid for one reporter and camera operator to cover the inaugural direct flight from Shanghai to Perth," the spokesman said.

Of course the leftards at SBS would parrot the propaganda from the unelected socialists at Human Rights Watch. No-one else of any consequence will pay them any meaningful attention.
