The fact their pods don't have bassinet positions is simply ignorant.
CX has a station @ the first 2 inboard (middle) row of J that
the bassinet is fitted to the self above the row. It would take
very little for AC to do this.. except of course acknowledge the issue.

The fact AC hasn't got em' is simply slack
If AC were governed by the Civil Aviation Authority of China, then perhaps they would have received clearance for Skycots in J/C. The Ministry of Transport (Canada) has another take on the situation.

Given the design of AC's E/F suites, there is no eye-level bulkead position to install a Skycot. The seat design would prevent direct access/contact/observation between the adult and a sleeping infant in a Skycot.

We are furthermore mandated to provide an individual safety briefing to an adult traveling with a lap held infant to ensure that the baby is held outside of and away from the inflatable portion of the seat belt. We take infant safety very seriously.

You refer to it as "simply slack", I prefer to think of it as responsible.
