Since I'm probably going to book one of the big Chinese airlines for a long haul flight, here are their longhaul seat pitches in Economy
I'm using AeroLopa - which usually has the most up to date information
First off there's China Eastern
Their twenty A350s have a 3-3-3 layout and 31" pitch and 18" width
Their 20 B777s have a tighter 17" seat width in a 3-4-3 layout but with 32" pitch
They have two different A330-300s configurations - with either
a 17.3" seat width in a 2-4-2 layout and a 31" pitch or
a 17.8" seat width in the same 2-4-2 layout but with a 32" pitch
They have three different A330-200 configurations - with either
a 18" seat width in a 2-4-2 layout and a 32" pitch or
a 17.8" seat width in a 2-4-2 layout and a 32" pitch or
a 17.2" seat width in a 2-4-2 layout and a 32" pitch or
Next up is Air China
Their fourteen B787s have 17.1" width in a 3-3-3 layout and 31" pitch
Air China's six B747-8s have a generous 18" width in a 3-4-3 layout and 31" pitch
Their 28 B777s have 18" width in a 3-3-3 or 3-4-3 layout and 31" pitch
Their 29 A350s have 18" width in a 3-3-3 layout and 31" pitch
Their 28 A330-300s have 18" width in a 2-4-2 layout and 31" pitch
Their 21 A330-200s have 18" width in a 2-4-2 layout and 31" pitch
And finally China Southern
Their twenty A350s have 18" width in a 3-3-3 layout and 31" or 32" pitch
Their ten B787-8s have a 3-3-3 layout and 31" pitch and 17.3" width
Their twenty B787-9s have a 3-3-3 layout and 32" pitch and 17.3" width
Their fifteen B777s have a 3-3-3 layout and 32" pitch and 18.5" width
Their 22 A330s have 17.4" or 18" width in a 2-4-2 layout and at least 32" pitch
Conclusion
Avoid China Eastern's 10 abreast B777s
Avoid Air China's 10 abreast B777s
China Southern don't have any 10 abreast planes
