AA codeshare partnership with MU becoming a joke

perhaps not long for this world?

the last time i flew china eastern between beijing and shanghai, i checked in for my coach flight (coinnecting from AA business) via the first class counter using my EXP card and they (after some debate admittedly, but it was a five hour layover) gave me a lounge pass.

when i checked in with china eastern at beijing yesterday, again in coach, on codeshare flight AA 5791 to connect with AA business from PVG to ORD, they:
-refused to let me use the first class check in
-refused to give me a lounge pass
-told me that "we do not have a partnership with american airlines--they just changed your flight to our plane"
-told me that "we do not give miles in the american airlines program" and refused to put my FF # into the record
-refused to give me a boarding pass showing the flight # i had purchased (AA 5791) instead giving me a boarding pass with their flight # (MU 583)

does this mean american wont give me my miles?

anyway warning to all--dont expect any special favours from MU unless you pay up for their business/first class
