BTW, punishments are now greatly increased in all Mainland China; it is easy to get a grounding of at least one year; one simulator failure is 6 months as FO. At the beginning of September one crew from Shandong Airlines has landed on the wrong runway coming from a VOR / DMEapproach (!8L instead of 18R): three (3) years grounded.
