And after you get checked on the line, your longevity not only depends on your own fortune, but also that of other pilots in your category (foreign pilot, fleet type, time on type, PIC time amount, routes operated etc etc). When other pilots messed up, the CAAC will scrutinize you all the same.
This guy got a GPWS warning on approach in one morning, he could see the runway, VMC condition. So according to SOP he could visually verify there was no threat and continued the approach. Guess where he is now? Got all his licenses taken away, not able to apply to be a pilot for 3 years. WHY? Because while he was able to see in daylight condition, it was technically a few minutes short of the end of civil twilight for that airport. chew on that.
Welcome to China, the land that "just culture" got locked up in residential detention. If you tell them "no harm no foul" they will laugh and remind you that 100% surveillance finds anything "out of the box" and there is always a penalty.
