I'm personally not against that. I'm Taiwanese and hold the CX co-brand card here. The problem with CX, though, is that its loyal customers are from all over the world, not exactly concentrated in just a couple of markets. Unless CX finds a cobrand card partner in all major markets it serves, this will not work.

Maybe we Asian guys are more okay about calling ourselves "boy"?

I would argue the overcrowded issue may be more acute in some CX outport lounges like BKK / PVG.
I'm not really buying that CX will cut SL's lounge access to CX-operated lounges, but if CX really needs to do that, perhaps learn from BR and give SL W flyers unlimited J lounge access, while limiting SL Y flyers to select lounges only (or for a number of times per year only)? It might not work well for BKK and PVG, though, as most flights there don't have W.
