IN my previous opinion pieces, I have pointed out that the current CNMI administration hasn’t made any changes to prevent the legal entry of tourists from China. This really got me questioning why the narrative by business groups and certain individuals has been to incorrectly blame the administration for the lack of tourists from China. It has not made much sense to me. I arrived at the conclusion that they were not truly after tourists from China as much as they were after pro-PRC messaging from the administration. I still believe that is the case. It did however get me to wondering why the numbers are down.
