Yes, at 180 days out and closer in go to ?????? China Airlines and load up your reservation with the CI PNR to select seats.

As always, DL PNRs are useless. DL specifically hides all operating airline PNRs (not like NW/012 tickets where all the actual relevant PNRs would show, not like UA that also shows it right online...DL, as always, on purpose makes it more difficult for its passengers to do the most basic things like selecting seats, with its goal always being to keep its customers in the dark and ignorant).
