Be interesting to see how that image compares with one taken at the same time a year ago. Flightradar has some figures here Air traffic at China's busiest airports... which suggests it's currently very roughly 25% down now from where it was prior to the disease outbreaks, but I also wonder about the influence of state control over their airlines, particularly those that the government is a majority shareholder of. It makes me question how much flying is being done there because it's a way to demonstrate to the world, so everyone can look on flightradar and the airport activity statements, and see how well the airline industry and China overall is "recovering" under the Chinese government rule.
