Perhaps the paperwork for NZQ's approval (generally, not in relation to this specific flight) made reference to Taiwan, which meant that the approval was held up on the Chinese side. Air NZ then precipitated the problem by allocating NZQ to operate a PVG flight when approval hadn't yet come through for it?
