You’re right, minus_273. China Airlines is based in Taiwan and has nothing to do with any companies or the government based on the mainland AKA The People’s Republic of China (PRC). Taiwan, called Formosa by the Portugese, was once known as the Republic of China when it was ruled by the Nationalists led by Chiang (surname) Kai-shek. China Airlines was the national carrier. The Nationalists lost the Civil War to the Communists, led by Mao (surname) Zedong in 1949 and fled to Taiwan, which had recently (1945 at the time) been liberated from Japanese rule.
Taiwan has become a very spirited democracy, unlike the PRC, since the Nationalists lost elections in the Eighties to native Taiwanese parties.

で中華航空機が爆発、炎上した事故で、中華航空は２１日、事故機の胴体左側面にある「ＣＨＩＮＡ ＡＩＲＬＩＮＥＳ」という英語の社名ロゴと垂直尾翼にある紅梅の花のマークを白いペンキで塗りつぶした。事故機の映像や写真が連日報道されるため、企業イメージの低下を避けるの
I do a lot of international business travel to Asia but my travel agent has strict orders to never, ever book a flight for me on China Airlines.
It’s pretty standard for airlines to do this following an accident
Painting over the Airline Name and Logo is common practice throughout the Industry after accidents. This is nothing new.
Delta covered their a/c name and logo with a tarp at a crash in Pensacola years ago.
LOL!

That ain’t Chinnese. That there is JAPANESE, my man.
Firstly, this is Taiwan(R.o.C), not China(P.R.C).
Secondly, it is common practice, even among American airlines, to cover/paint-over/hide names and logos on crashed aircraft. No one wants bad publicity.
China’s national leadership personna reminds me of that of a troubled 13 to 14 year old child. Sadly, we just keep telling them how “special” they are, when they desparately need to hear some life truths.
Well, bad on me... I didn’t realize this was Taiwan. But the comment still stands if they’re covering up.
I don’t care who paints over, it’s a seedy practice. If you want to avoid publicity like this, then keep your aircraft from burning out a runway.
HOW did you get FR to print chineese?
The kanji are Chinese, but there is hiragana too, which would make it Japanese ;)
UPS dose the same thing to their semis and delivery trucks,any time a ups vehicle is in a wreck it is covered with a blue tarp ASAP and anything that cant be covered is painted white

By george, it worked!! :-)
“From a marketing perspective this is very smart.”
Is it? By doing this they’ve put their name back in the news. And it isn’t like folks at the airport wouldn’t know which airline it was.
Assuming that you criticized the Yasukuni Shrine worshipping send-off of Prime Minister Abe, were accustomed to sending your own little finger and the like to the Liberal Democratic Party headquarters the Okayama prefectural police public peace section and Kurashiki station on the 23rd, the same prefectural Kurashiki city two day city, right wing group staff, the red lead correct (are じ ょ う) suspect virtue Yutaka (54) arrested in doubt of threat.
