What a laugh! You know it will be a balanced and objective review when you read "Lance Richardson travelled courtesy of China Southern." at the closing of the review. Sigh.
Flight test: China Southern premium economy
READ: It was a really sh!tty flight, but as they are an advertiser with us, I cannot tell you how bad or I will lose my job.
READ: They only showed 70's chinese classics on the aged overhead monitors, the awful subtitles were impossible to decipher.
READ: It was simply awful
READ: Coffee was utter cough, the chicken thigh was fatty and rubbery with bits of bone. The food was tragic.

Flight test: China Southern premium economy
Comfort This is an airline stripped to the essentials but space is ample in premium economy, with generous legroom. Recline is limited, though seats are on the right side of firm and passengers are encouraged to relocate to empty rows and stretch out.

Entertainment There is a blend of Hollywood and European cinema, as well as contemporary Chinese films. Unfortunately, on this particular aircraft, personal television systems are available only in higher classes. For everybody else, shared screens play a subtitled pre-selection. (There are seat-back screens in all classes on some aircraft operating into Australia.)

Service The Chinese take service seriously

Food and beverages Coffee aficionados beware: it comes ultra-sweet with creamer added. Lunch is basic, though the "chicken with spice" dish avoids the stolid heaviness of much airline food, with big pieces of chicken, white rice and vegetables.
