Fair enough - I'm not a *A guy and am going on general impressions of colleagues who are, not on personal experiences. That does seem to be confirmed by their very poor 2-3 star SkyTrax ratings (2* for food service and IFE, 3* for seating and staff) compared to the other mainland airlines, though - but I freely admit that SkyTrax is nonsense and unreliable.

I mostly wanted to clarify that CI is from Taiwan, not the mainland, so for folks unwilling to transit the PRC for visa or other reasons they may be needlessly avoiding them.
