Morning Bid: China fails to cheer, as France scores own goal
A muted start to the week in Asia with Chinese data too mixed to provide much momentum as political uncertainty in Europe lurks in the background. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) kept its one-year rate unchanged, dashing some speculation of a cut following surprisingly soft bank lending data. China's official Financial News on Monday reported there was still room to lower rates, but there were internal and external constraints on policy.

China travel rebound flags amid costs, visa snags
STORY: Chinese travellers were supposed to get back in the air, and back in the shops, after the the end of lockdowns. But the signs are that a travel rebound is fading away, and that’s bad news for tourism businesses everywhere. Eighteen months after China reopened its borders, travel numbers are well behind market expectations. Last year saw Chinese people take 87 million trips abroad - that’s still down 40% on the pre-COVID era. UN data show they spent 24% less than in 2019, while spending by U.S. travelers was up 14%. It’s all a concern for holiday firms and retailers, with Chinese travelers the world’s top spenders on international tourism and airlines. Popular destinations for the country’s tourists - like France, Australia and the U.S. - may feel a particular hit. A decline in the value of China’s yuan currency is one factor, as it makes overseas travel more costly. High unemployment and a sluggish economy have also cut spending power. All that may have pushed people towards domestic travel, which has boomed even as international demand proved weak. Chinese travelers also complain of the time and difficulty in getting visas for some destinations, particularly in Europe.That leaves the number of them traveling to France at barely more than a quarter of pre-health crisis levels. Capacity on air routes to the U.S. remains down 80%, with political tensions not helping either.By contrast, countries that offer visa-free access - including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand - have seen rising demand. Japan has also seen a surge, helped by a weak yen that makes it a more affordable destination.

A year after the Titan's tragic dive, deep-sea explorers vow to pursue ocean's mysteries
The deadly implosion of an experimental submersible en route to the deep-sea grave of the Titanic last June has not dulled the desire for further ocean exploration, despite lingering questions about the disaster. Tuesday marks one year since the Titan vanished on its way to the historic wreckage site in the North Atlantic Ocean. Concerns have been raised about whether the Titan was destined for disaster because of its unconventional design and its creator’s refusal to submit to independent checks that are standard in the industry.

A new airport could spark the economy in a rural part of Florida. Will the workforce be ready?
One of Florida’s poorest counties is preparing for the new “Airglades” airport, a $300 million cargo hub that could transform its economy. Local leaders see the project as a generational opportunity, one that could bring more than 1,400 new, high-skilled jobs to their largely agricultural community at the edge of the Everglades. A third of Hendry County’s working-age adults lack a high-school diploma, while almost half speak a language other than English at home, among the highest in Florida.

AI experimentation is high risk, high reward for low-profile political campaigns
Adrian Perkins was running for reelection as the mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, when he was surprised by a harsh campaign hit piece. The satirical TV commercial, paid for by a rival political action committee, used artificial intelligence to depict Perkins as a high school student who had been called into the principal’s office. Instead of giving a tongue-lashing for cheating on a test or getting in a fight, the principal blasted Perkins for failing to keep communities safe and create jobs.

YouTuber and TikToker Fidias Panayiotou is a 24-year-old with no political experience and no formal higher education who rode the wave of his online popularity — and public anger at the country's political elites — all the way to one of six seats allotted to Cyprus in the European Parliament.
