Disturbing indeed. Unlike at Western airlines where a comprehensive analysis will be done, in China since the outcome was no loss of lives then the decision must have been sound. Lucky yes, correct questionable. It reminds me of the Air Transat accident where the Captain was made out a hero for his dead-stick landing in the Azores. It was only after the final report did they realize that while it was indeed a successful outcome with skill intermixed with pure luck that the situation could have been avoided in the first place with proper fuel monitoring from the crew. FWIW: Accelerating an aircraft into a moving object gives me the jitters in a big way!
