I noticed on my JFK-YVR flight there was no mandarin after the usual English/Cantonese broadcast. Then YVR-HKG the same thing. I was really surprise when the HKG-TPE doesn't have mandarin either. However, TPE-HKG does.

In my past years it's always three languages: English --> Cantonese --> Mandarin.

Is there a new policy or did the ICM forgot how to speak Mandarin?
