BR is higher ranked than CA on Skytrax.
CI is higher ranked than MU on Skytrax.

I've flown with both of them many times. The Taiwanese airlines is miles miles ahead of the Chinese 3-big.

I dated CA FAs and they told me so. They told me I should dress super sharp and put on my expensive watches and jewelries to stand out. They treat white customers far better than their Chinese counterpart, because the FAs are trying to find a husband/boyfriend and there is a preference for dating or be with Caucasians... It's not a secret because it's quite widely known. I personally don't like to show off to attract attention, so I always dress non-business when I fly international, unless I just walked out of a meeting.

By the way, you must not be searching in Chinese.. and use English search on English Google or something. There has been many stories that Chinese pax ask for something, the FA would say "sorry we don't have"... and when a white customer asks for the same thing, the FA will bend backwards to please the customer.
