As someone who spends 4 month a year in China their airlines and aircraft are much nicer than United or American Airlines. Not as good as Delta or most international carriers...and yes they have room for big butts... :)
Oh and the cabin crews...attentive, helpful, much younger and far better looking than any US carrier.
I’m skeptical of Chinese aircraft, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they had stuff better than American Airlines. The last AA flight I took was a plane that didn’t have emergency oxygen, so we had a ceiling of 10k feet...and flew through the roughest air I ever have...some of the plastic covers above our heads fell off etc.
But it gets worse - this plane was clearly only capable of making domestic flights. Yet it had ashtrays in the seat arms. They had been tack welded shut, but good grief, wasn’t smoking banned on domestic flights a quarter century ago? How old were the seats on this plane?
We are the only country in the world that doesn't have its own government bought and paid for airline. THAT is why China has its own airline and we don't. China isn't special...WE are.
=====================================================
The Chinese don't have big butts because they never have enough to eat. The Chinese in America, ABC's (American Born Chinese) and long time Chinese residents DO have the big butts because here in America we do get enough to eat. If those Chinese in China COULD--they would LOVE to have big butts...because it would mean FOOD, no famines. China was INFAMOUS for its famines.
YOU get enough to eat because you are a foreigner and it would be a loss of face to let a foreigner go hungry.

Ah yes, they have the old system that we had...crews, mostly female, are hired by their looks, not their brains, ability to serve and such. Lol. You love it, of course, but for the MAJORITY of women who aren't cute, it's not so nice.
AND when those stewardess cuties turn 30 their jobs are GONE with the wind and they can look forward to a life that isn't so sweet. Lol. But, then YOU never see that as the Asian airlines REPLACE them ASAP with 12-year-old looking women, just to keep the men drooling.
I won't be going to China ever again not because of its misogyny but because its the filthiest country on this planet. Once was enough. Yes, I lived in Mexico (2 years), Saudi Arabia (5 years) and India for just a bit. CHINA? We were there for eight weeks...and I WOULDN'T live in that filthy pit hole for all of its tea.
They DO produce BEAUTIFUL things, MANY, many BEAUTIFUL things, not just "art." There is THAT to admire and I think it makes them well worthy of all the praise they get for it. What a shame their attitude toward cleanliness belongs in the Dark Ages.
Their attitude toward filth does translate 100% to the Chinese (from China) here in the US. Some people make a transition to have American attitudes; some don't.
The Chinese from China who open restaurants here find that they can't bribe the inspectors, nor can they keep a restaurant open if they fail to comply with our health and safety rules. SO they run clean, safe establishments, close, or they are hit where it hurts the most: in their wallets. Everyone wins.
They don't HAVE to come here OR stay here. They ARE here by choice, so I guess all our health, cleanliness and safety rules don't bother them at all. They might even welcome them.
再见, 大屁股 :o)
