(Or so he said)

My licence states that there is no age limit in much the same way as a CASA licence does.
Can you kindly elaborate? Under CAAC rules, no foreign pilot is allowed to be member of a crew listed on a flight assignment of every AOC holder in mainland China without bearing the right CAAC ATP license (and not any validation which is simply not issued).
6 years in China, current, employed by 2 different airlines.
