I don't know whether staffing China flights with such folks is a new pratice (would have to be very new because I fly frequently) or if I just got lucky, but if the former, I'm very pleased with UA (in spite of the fact that the service itself was nothing stellar).
Must have moved all the matrons to the front of the bus. When they hear "Ni Hao" they think they must have just smacked one of the passengers with their cart.
