AA isn't going to fly into China, but CP (now AC) does fly to both.
hsi.chang, thanks for correcting me. Right, AA hasn't been granted a route to China. I guess CP/AC does not use a subsidiary.
(A further digression. I noticed AC's BKK office (space) sharply expanded. I wonder if they are planning a comeback after CP discontinued BKK-HKG earlier this year.

BA and JL have separate subsidiaries flying their Taipei routes? If I recall, BA flies HKG-TPE a few times a week.
Hi,
fallinasleep,
JL has a subsidiary EG (Japan Asia Airways) for Taipei routes from Japan and onto HKG, I think.
Maybe I was wrong to describe them as 'subsidiaries' for BA, KL and SR.
BA's HKG-TPE is served by so-called British Airways Asia. KL and SR use aircraft with similar corporate colours but with some Chinese characters on the tail or somewhere.
This is a bit trivial but I was just curious why in the world they go all the way to set up different operations for Taiwan. Two Chinas, for sure, but why some do and why some don't. Just out of curiosity ....
