I flew on a China Southern 737-800 from Singapore to Guangzhou in May, 2019 and the wings flexed so much I thought they were about to snap off on final approach. I swear the plane even looked rusty.
Chinese airlines seem to focus their maintenance dollars on the larger aircraft used for trans-Pacific and European flights.
