Even better deal (just financially speaking):

1200USD (~60USD less than Emirates FWIW) CAI-ZRH-PEK: https://www.google.ca/flights/#searc...X238;sc=b;a=LX

1450USD: CAI-ZRH-BKK: https://www.google.ca/flights/#searc...X238;sc=b;a=LX

and a bit more (~1600USD) for TYO, PVG and HKG
Better deal is somewhat relative there since you lose quite a few miles on the PEK trip vs the SIN trip. It's almost 3,000 miles shorter on the round trip PEK vs SIN, so that's losing almost 6,000 status miles assuming a 200% status mile earning ratio on many programs for a P fare. Out of all the attractive LX fares ex CAI, SIN generates the most miles it looks like.
