Wondering if British Airways, Lufthansa and other European airlines will drop their prices also as I presume British and other Europeans are still in China because of the high prices being charged by the airlines. Presently some of these only seem to be going down in October.

Going no problem, coming back is where it gets interesting. My advice is if you're in China then stay put.
