A: Hey! Did you hear about the news? It’s a little crazy!
B: No! What happened? Tell me!

A: Apparently, China is telling travel agencies to send fewer tourists to Japan.
B: Seriously? Why would they do that?

A: It's because of Prime Minister Takaichi’s comments about Taiwan. Remember?
B: Oh yeah, that thing! So, China’s a bit annoyed.

A: Exactly! They want to put some pressure on Japan.
B: Wow, that’s a big deal.

A: It is! They’re saying tourists shouldn’t go, like, less than 60% of what they used to.
B: That’s a huge drop!

A: Even the airlines are letting people cancel their flights for free.
B: Really? Until when?

A: Until late March, I think. They’re cancelling lots of flights too!
B: I saw something about that online. Like, 40% of January flights cancelled?

A: Yep, that’s what I heard. It’s a weird situation, huh?
B: Totally weird! Let’s hope things calm down soon.
