For a number of years, China Southern Airlines has served San Francisco from both Guangzhou and Wuhan. However, it’s only very recently that they have begin flying non-stop westbound to Guangzhou, as flights had a stopover in Wuhan. As of now, CZ is retaining both the flight with the stop in Wuhan and the nonstop one, both operated by the Boeing 777-300ER.
