which probably means it is not happening
With respect, your analysis is wrong. CX has seen what Jetstar Singapore has done to Singapore Airlines which is to cut yields on their formerly highly profitable routes around Asia which cross-subsidised their long-haul routes. This has in effect broken Singapore Airlines as an airline. It is similar to what Qantas is complaining about what Virgin Australia is doing to it.
CX does not want this happening to it. It does not want its highly profitable short haul routes negatively impacted, reducing their ability to offer their long haul routes.
This is why it is putting up such a fight to stop Jetstar Hong Kong.
