Yeah that is a bad comparison.
Air China, MU, China Southern and Xiamen airlines are PRC airlines based in mainland China. They cannot be compared due to very difficult regulation enviroment.
The best comparison is to look at say Eva Airlines or Cathay Pacific. Eva Airlines has quite a bit cheaper tickets from what I can see.
