Why would they try to roll this out when the Chinese carriers are already offering a superior product at a lower price.

Were you looking at the Standard Fare. According to AC.com, there is a fee for the seats for those fares on International tickets.

Are the Chinese carriers or CX or BR charging the same fare for the same route (on the same dates?)

Looking at a random YYZ-PEK

This info is on the AC page https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...selection.html
