Yes sir, i have been to airport Dom lounge in China many.... many times.
Usually there is one fried rice dish and one fried noodles dish. There will always be instant noodles ready to go in at least 2-3 flavours.
If you you need have flown China Eastern, Shanghai Airline and Air China that many times I don't know how you can come to the conclusion the "free food" are bad. They are good for what it is- fill you up. And consider AC charges what, 50RMB equivalent for a Chicken Wrap. I would say thanks to AC, I have come to appreciate flying in China more and more.
No booze in lounge? Perfect- I could give less of a damn about that. I would be more than happy if AC could improve food offering... even if its at the expense of booze cut back(But ultimately I am not exactly in their cohort)
I am 187cm tall and I am still not sure about where you got your less legroom fact from. Perhaps you can point me towards a site with specifications on legroom vs AC?

You love your deals. Yes, flying in China is cheaper than flying in Canada, but only if you buy your tickets in China. If not, prices are the same. You don't need a web site to tell you the leg room, if you are flying these flights/airlines. You know there is no leg room when your knees are jammed into the seat I front of you.

Neither SkyTrax, FT, FB or Twitter etc etc are quantifiable in the same way as a properly conducted survey, so posted comments become more qualitative. IMHO.
Anyway, value of status is relevant only to the person holding it, or to those who aspire to it.

My preferred solution (for mobile, anyway) is just get a dual-HK/China SIM in HK, and then use Google with impunity with no VPN required. No idea if this is still working but it worked perfectly six months ago.

I missed my first flight of my life that way lol - this was before the subway had gotten there. Now the airport being a transportation hub its much easier to land and grab a bullet train to the final destination for those reside out of Shanghai.
New terminal is nice too, lots of good and cheap food options inside for domestic.

SHA is okay but when there's traffic on the Yan An elevated expressway its the very definition of regret of "should have PVGed"
