Full story from Aviation Week

Quote:
Chinese Civil Aviation Minister Yang Yuanyuan says AirAsia’s slogan, “Now everyone can fly,” describes his own dream for China


Yeah, right. That's why AirAsia's boss, Tony Fernandes said:
Quote:
"The problem with China is the Chinese state airlines,” which enjoy strong political backing. He says, “It would be a scary thing to go there right now."

Not to mention the fact that the Chinese authorities impose minimum ticket prices on flights. One domestic operator was fined for selling it's flights too cheaply not so long ago. Regardless, AirAsia still fly to many Chinese destinations from Thailand and Malaysia, even though they don't have an actual hub there.
