Like other Chinese services, they don't really care if a non-Chinese find it inconvenient.
In China now there are so many services that require real-name authentication which requires the Chinese National ID.
The only way I could get it sorted was set it up at the airport.

I'm finding that I can't create a China Eastern account either... the whole page fails at the "security verification" step, where I enter the captcha. It keeps telling me "Security validation error, please verify.". I've tried it on both Firefox and Chrome, so I'm not sure it's a browser issue... anyone know how to do this?

IVe gotten points when booking through Expedia; however, it seems the plane has to be MU operated. I flew a couple weeks ago from Thailand to China on what I booked as a MU flight. The flight ended up being run by Thai.
I got lounge access but no points and Thai Airlines never got my MU number when booking via Expedia (as MU always seems to get). So I guess MU flights operated by another airline don’t get SPG points even if booked as MU. Or maybe it does but thebautems were not integrated this time. I might have a flight to London soon on another MU booking that might be operated by another carrier - deciding whether to take that or Etihad.
