I looked it up and they seem to have a total of two hotels plus a dumpy little resort? Chinese company looking for some nationalist favor perhaps?
Look at what the article said:
“[BEIJING] A hotel in the Chinese city of Shenzhen plans to charge its US guests an extra 25 per cent amid a trade war between Beijing and Washington, according to the Global Times, a tabloid published by the ruling Communist Party’s People’s Daily. “
This is from the government, maybe. “A tabloid published by the ruling Communist Party’s People’s Daily”...
This seems to me, to be a move by the government.
Maybe.
Just saying.
