Without soldiers' full commitment, even the strongest leader stood powerless. Faced with the steady advance of the rebels, the loyalist forces gradually lost ground. In great disarray, they had no other choice but to flee, carrying their dead.

The Oriental Daily News of Hong Kong start to use similar phrases as the topic sentence for its almost every report on Cathay Pacific.

國泰早有「因航」之名──因為管理不善而在國際排名榜跌跌不休──看來還要無止境地跌下去。但換一個角度看，國泰此舉何嘗不是為剛剛開通的高鐵打廣告呢？

2018 October 4, “為「因航」記上一功”, in 《東方日報》:

海洋公園因沙士衝擊蝕錢，再食國內團加自由行的水，今時今日這些優勢都沒有了，放眼亞洲區，仍然有競爭力嗎？海洋公園跟被稱為「因航」的國泰、不派息只剩下30多元的匯豐、跌淨個幾私有化的利豐，都是香港黃昏的寫照。

It was however gradually associated with the then prevalent opium usage in China and came to be understood as an insult to Chinese people. Later, Bruce Lee's movie Fist of Fury (1972) contributed decisively to the infamy of this term, thus fixing its modern sense.
