On a related note, if possible, could someone enlighten me on why there are two types of carriers vis-a-vis China/Taiwan?
I mean, one group setting up subsidiaries just to serve Taiwan (and a few other locations), while they themselves fly to China. This group includes BA, JL, KL and SR (any others?).
Other airlines, meanwhile, fly both to Taiwan and China like U.S. carriers UA and AA.
Isn't this the "One China, Two Airlines" policy ?
AA isn't going to fly into China, but CP (now AC) does fly to both.
