if not, no and no. But if they’re like China or North Korea, there isn’t anything money can’t fix.

It's the same .... all over the world including America (we just practice a more subtle and a bit less egregious form of bribes).

It was meant for you.
The application for JV has been submitted by DL and KE. It has been approved by U.S. regulators, with conditions that DL and KE will likely choose to accept. The JV can't proceed without approval by South Korean regulators. There is no 'hurrying' to be done.

IMHO ICN is vastly superior airport to transit to Intra-Asia flight than PVG(MU).

Even if it's rejected, though, that's not what would happen. We'd simply be left with inferior connectivity and reliance on an array of partners over multiple hubs rather than being able to count on a broad spectrum of connection options on an immunized JV partner over a premium hub.
