QR's B787 is a killer reason to fly Qatar ex-HKG in J...their J product is often very reasonably priced, and is basically an upgraded, slightly fancier version of CX's J hard product with significantly superior catering to the nonsense CX serves in J.

If true, hilarious timing...almost immediately after the CX/QR JV ends, Qatar significantly bumps up the product offering.
Would think there's a decent chance that QR have upgraded the plane *because* the JV has ended and were previously restricted from doing so by the agreement they had with CX.
