Controlling shares does not mean anything is particularly likely or unlikely. Heading towards controlling interest has been the flow pattern for years and is, er, highly likely.

Swires have demonstrated how accommodating they can be to demands made by a certain party, such as during the protests.
They have quite a few operations over the border which I m sure they would like to continue to operate without difficulties.
CX will be handed over and the optics will seem like the decision is mutually beneficial.
Would management of the airline be any worse under Air China?

Beijing used their influence to remove the CEO, plus a few undesirable minions through the GD approval scheme. I wouldn’t underestimate their power to influence the shareholder balance or three yearly management contract.
Would an Air China management be better or worse for employees? It’s largely academic. Most crew are in a holding pattern waiting for a clearer view of the future. For better or worse a new management will make that picture clearer which is all anyone is asking for.
(If they were asking for more rather than hoping for it they’d already be in a fight for it, which they’re not)

Air China taking over would be much better. This bunny-hopping of managers that Swire does is a joke when it come to long term planning and execution.
Kick-can-down-road mentality is great for KPIs and inked bonuses, but dreadful for long term health.
