That is wrong. Secondly, Air NZ is opening itself up to huge PR problems in China- problems that will reflect on our whole country and all its people once the fenqing get wind of this- because it was too cheap? lazy? stupid? naive? to do things properly. Ah, well, I can see I'm preaching to the converted, so I'll stop ranting.
