CA did so for me this year, I showed them my LH ticket from my email at PEK, and they interlined my bags to LHR, the thing is they can only do it from PEK, possibly PVG too. The outstation staff at AKL/SYD will not do it for you. If your layover is long enough, you may let the checkin agent at AKL or SYD send your bags to PEK or PVG, then you ask CA in China to interline your bags to your final destination (your LH ticket class doesn’t matter, even it is economy or basic).
