There is also that new marking required by the PRC... If you plan on travelling domestically via airplane or possibly train, I would suggest being cautious. Likely won't get in trouble, but you could have the case confiscated.
Yea, China is another matter altogether, but if YVR-C’s not planning to travel domestically within China (not sure if the power-bank/case has the capacity listed, which is the requirement to fly out of China?), they should be fine…

Agree with Ditto that a limit on power banks would technically apply.

Do you have a link to Etihad’s new requirements?
Would be good to add it to the other thread / wiki: Power bank rules & regulations inflight

Seems Emirates has implemented a similar limit of 1 power bank, as has FlyDubai. Perhaps was part of a set of recommendations by the UAE’s aviation authority(-ies)?
