Specifically on this, I noted when I flew CX a few days ago (perhaps eff. 01JUL?), the name tag of FA was changed, and Mandarin is now 普通話, not 國語 anymore. I believe this change was probably made in response to recent political climate and the "carpet" incident. Otherwise, no, I think CX is still the old CX.
