But the Chinese airlines have no way of knowing. Seriously, I know of three guys flying in China who were hired based upon their legally logging PIC even though they were not the official PIC. They all had someone who was wiling to vouch for them. No U.S. airline is going to provide records or release any information to a Chinese airline. They are not required to do so, PRIA only requires records to be released to U.S. airlines, and providing them to foreign carriers exposes the U.S. airline to all sorts of legal liability. So as long as you have the PIC type rating which the FAA will vouch for, someone who can seem official willing to vouch for you, and a decent amount of actual time on the airplane so you can be competent in the sim test, there is virtually zero way a Chinese airline will know whether you PIC time is actually as PIC or just logged as PIC as sole manipulator of the controls.
