I explained to him what it was, but either the guy didn't believe me or thought something was wrong because he called the flight attendant and complain. She kindly asked me to put it away. Since I was still in China, I decided it wasn't worth putting up a fight.
I remember my first CI flight in or around 2007 as an adult where I tried to do some reading on my O2 XDA in flight mode and the Taiwanese passenger glared at me and took out the no phones use at all statement in the safety card. I complied, but the statement was removed by the next time I flew with them.
