From the research I've been doing it looks like ANA will work for me. AC would too, but ANA is 90K miles vs 115K for AC. I'm going to have to buy a ticket to the nearest gateway city, ORD, as I live in Kansas City (MCI) and neither of those airlines fly here.
Look into the star alliance chart and see if you can transfer to say..... Continental... then book via Star Alliance to get to China. United is partnered up with Continental and they have a few flights over to China. Connecting through SFO is also an option.
