As much as how unprofessional and unfair the repairing supposedly occurred, I have to say that this could be one bet that the Chinese Fed might have made correct. Peng is now landing all her jumps and throws, Yu now has higher elevation on her throws and twist, and Zhang seems somewhat softer as opposed to when he was skating with both Zhang Dan and Peng. Curious to see what happens next; as much as the performance was beautiful, "beautiful" doesn't scoop top scores anymore like in the Shen/Zhao era, and a quad twist should be in the works if they even hope to be a match to the top pairs.
Edit: Curious as to why they downgraded the technical, as a 3T and 2A-2A garners more BV than a 3T-2T and 2A. Maybe Zhang is too old? Either way, they should play to the maximum of their strengths, or this new pairing isn't worth it.
