Can you bring knitting needles on flights in China?

I will be flying to China soon and will also be taking two intra-China flights as well. I know knitting needles are allowed on U.S. flights, but what about in-China flights?

1. I don't know about China exclusively but I just got back from a trip to Asia. I saw a lady knitting all flight, (over 15 hours) so its allowed. I flew United if that matters.
2. no because they are afraid you will knit an afghan. ha ha ha.
3. Not sure about China but I have had better luck traveling with wooden needles, compared with metal needles. To be safe, I would take along a crochet needle and some thread just in case you have to leave your needles in the airport. This way you can save your project until you can purchase a new set of needles once you reach your destination.
4. The best thing to do is contact the airline you will be on in China. They probably are, but they may need to be wooden needles, not metal or plastic ones. Call or search online, to find out. Good luck.
