I flew with CX for 33 years, all our aircraft were maintained locally by engineers who in the majority were Chinese.......Do you really think Australian LAMEs are the only ones in the world who know what they are doing?
No. But at least they do know what they're doing.
I wuzzgonna post a photo of the engine on a Chinese airliner which had the fan locked so it wouldn't windmill during an engine-out ferry flight. It was locked with a seat-belt extension strapped through between the fan-blades by some enterprising Chinese "engineer". Nice!!!
But I couldn't find the photo.....
Make sure you do a good pre-flight and have a look in the intakes, guys.......
