...government's tacit approval of the CNAC-China Eastern alliance marks a potentially significant policy shift by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the country's aviation regulator. Just as Beijing has opened up its backward banking sector to overseas investment in order to tap the expertise of foreign financiers, in recent years the CAAC has been allowing foreign airlines to take small stakes in domestic carriers, hoping that outside partners could improve airline management.
