Conclusion
This would have been the right policy for members worldwide as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is as bad elsewhere, although first hit the Greater China.
Hilton Honors (read more here) and World of Hyatt (read more here) have already extended their member tiers by 12 months. The outliers are Marriott Bonvoy and ALL (outside of Greater China).
