CX is regulation by the HK government which has its own laws and regulations. Therefore, CX would be obliged to comply with HK government instructions but not China?
That's my understanding anyway.

Quick quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_A...8Hong_Kong%29:
During British rule, CAD was not a sub-unit of the Civil Aviation Authority (United Kingdom). Since 1997, CAD maintains independence from the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Significant, but not most significant - that honor belongs to Swire. I won't go into whether or not the CO2 idea is "good" or "bad", but if you want to play in the European markets you play by the European rules. When companies do business in China, they follow the Chinese rules of doing business.

Carbon trading schemes is essentially taxing airlines to subsidise environmental projects. It's never popular with the parties being taxed.
And I don't understand the protectionist allegation either - it's not like AF or LH will need to buy less credits than CA or CX?
