It's fine, a common mistake especially the flag carrier for China is "Air China" (although China Eastern and China Southern are arguably better).
CI consistently releases awards at the dates they should (i think they're still at 353). The other airline you could consider is JAL (JL). Top notch service, slightly dated J product (Y product is top notch) who are also very consistently releasing their tickets 353 days out. You could even do a side day or two in Japan if you'd like. The only problem is that JL recently increased their carrier taxes.
