message: I admit I sometimes have too great a fondness for tables. They are unnecessary gunk in lists where only one column exists, (wouldn't want it here). But in this case, we have 3 items of information on each line. And the length of airport titles vary widely, so the city names do not line up at all if you scan down the list. It looks messy. We could use a table to line up the three columns. For example, the first line could look like:
Airport code	Airport        	City
HFE         	Luogang Airport	Hefei
:compared to:
*Luogang Airport, Hefei (HFE)
What do people think about this? Dmcdevit·t 05:56, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: That's the biggest problem. Sectioning it up makes it easier to edit smaller pieces and makes it more navigable by the Table of Contents. The tradeoff is that we may end up with some less appealing one line tables. For example, the example above would be a whole section by itself. Without sectioning, we could do somethig like this: 
Airport code        	Airport                              	City
Anhui Province      	Anhui Province                       	Anhui Province
HFE                 	Luogang Airport                      	Hefei
Beijing Municipality	Beijing Municipality                 	Beijing Municipality
PEK                 	Beijing Capital International Airport	Beijing
ListY               	Beijing Nanyuan Airport              	Beijing
Of course, formatting tweaks to make it prettier  (like bigger province header, etc.) could be done later, I just threw this together. This may or may not be more appealing. Which one do you like (or have better ideas)? Dmcdevit·t 06:49, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

text: That was really nice (thou its so depressingly grey haha), so perhaps we can do one table for now until the list grows to a humongous giant and we have to end up sectioning into one table per provinces again? --Huaiwei 09:25, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The deed is done. If anyone wants to fiddle with (happier) colors, just plug in any of the codes you find at web colors. BTW, some airport codes are missing... Dmcdevit·t 04:07, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Use tables? 

message: The title and the scope of this list is disputed and has not been settled. The dispute over the scope of this article was between mainland China alone (Hong Kong and Macao excluded) or the People's Republic of China (Hong Kong and Macao included). The title is disputed, accordingly, between list of airports in mainland China and list of airports in the People's Republic of China.
The current content and title do not endorse, and should not be seen as an endorsement of, any of the two.You may also read the other version and the difference between the two.  See also the edit history and move history.  — Instantnood 17:10, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: "Air transport between the Mainland and Hong Kong is specially managed domestic air transport by nature with reference made to the management of international air transport." Bolding is mine.  Quoted from Air Services Arrangement between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. SchmuckyTheCat 06:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Read the Chinese text too, which is the only official version. Original text of "domestic" is "国内", which means "within the sovereign state". The whole wording is "内地和香港间的航空运输性质为特殊管理的国内航空运输，参照国际航空运输管理，使用国际运输凭证，其责任条款可参照有关国际公约。" (Unofficial and for reference translation from Department of Justice, Hong Kong Government: Air transport between the Mainland and Hong Kong is specially managed domestic air transport by nature with reference made to the management of international air transport. Documents of international carriage shall be used and in respect of their liability provisions reference may be made to the relevant international conventions.). - Privacy 08:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Title and scope disputed

message: Which of these airports are having CIQ facilities? 119.236.251.39 (talk) 06:40, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  CIQ 

message: I WP:BOLDly have reverted this two-edit change. This is a WP:BRD discussion involving that. It also involves HK and Macao (see the #HK and Macau section above). It also involves Yongxing Island Airport, which is listed in the article and which is located on Woody Island (South China Sea), the sovereignty over which is disputed (see the Territorial disputes in the South China Sea and Spratly Islands dispute articles).
I have added a note regarding the disputed status of Woody Island. The question of whether airports in Special administrative regions of China and in Taiwan ought to be mentioned in this article remains open. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 15:04, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
