this isn't about LHR or SYD at all really, but about China Airlines and safety

China Airlines, safe?

I've got a long-haul flight booked with China Airlines (A330 and an A340) from LHR to SYD, and only after I booked it did I decide to read up on their safety record. Suffice to say I regret doing that; for example see their Wikipedia page.

Does anyone have any experience with China Airlines? Am I being a wuss?

I'm considering cancelling my flight (it's a long way off yet anyway) and rebooking with someone I've flown with before (Singapore or Virgin Atlantic probably).

Edit: Just to clarify, I understand all airlines have issues; however, I'm slightly concerned that China Airlines seem to tend to have more "and there were no survivors" kind of issues.
