They have recently started selling some very good fares in non- China markets.

HKG-LAX rt in biz is currently quite popular, for example:
CX.com = $6500
Aa.com = $4500
Ctrip = $2200 (for the AA flights)

While I realize that some people believe that native AA customer service is worthy of paying a premium v ctrip, I happen to disagree, and I'm guessing even most pessimists would join me when contemplating a $2000 difference. I believe the Ctrip fare is D class, by the way; a two minute phone call would clarify this.
