Airline service

I restored the bits about airline service, for two reasons:

The SFU paper by cites an unnamed airline executive who stated that immigration was one of the reasons for expanding air service into Vancouver
- "Airline executive: When the movement of people, including immigrants, tourists, and students between Canada and China intensified, the number of air passengers grew dramatically.[...]Vancouver has a reputation as one of the most livable cities in the world with a large immigrant population from China and other Asian nations. Airlines have come to this market to take advantage of growing transportation of people and high-value commodity goods like seafood and wine."
The Vice president of Sichuan Airlines, Zhang Huiyu cites immigration as one of the reasons for flights going to the country:
- "(This route) it's not only important to Sichuan Airlines, it's also important to all the people from the western region of China. Because all the flights originate from Chengdu in the western part of China to Shenyang, which is northeast, it will provide a gateway to the students, immigrants and travelers to Canada."

I suspect Cathay Pacific began its operations in Vancouver long before 1992, and I would like to get info on the Vancouver operations of the Taiwanese airlines, China Airlines and EVA Air. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:59, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

POV/ESSAY/SYNTH/TRIVIA tags added

This article has all the very same problems that the Chinese Canadians in British Columbia article has, and the reasons are laid out on the talkpage there; they have been ignored by the shepherding editor here who is unconcerned with and doesn't care about WP:NPOV which is policy. Numerous guidelines are violated, I won't waste my breath; but somewhere along teh way someone who does not share the biased views and scholastic premises that the OWN author of this article has laid out, and will recognize the incredibly bad English composition, and the use of pasting together cherrypicked items to build SYNTH/POV...so very obvious. "Honestly I think these tags are more than deserved", to paraphrase the edit comment of their illicit removal from the CCinBC article by the sole author here who successfully lobbied to have me blocked so he was not 'interfered with'. What has been interfered with is BC history with a very clear ethnopolitical bias and soapbox agenda.

I am leaving Wikipedia; I will not waste my efforts any longer for a place where travesty like this was mollycoddled and nurtured in violations of several guidelines and also of the NPOV policy'. this article is a political tract rife with synthesis and cherrypicked sources, and distortions of others. tiresome and juvenile and a good demonstration of why Wikipedia is not real encyclopedia but more and more a compilation of jejune essays - and outright propaganda.Skookum1 (talk) 02:03, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
