Round Trip, SFO<->PEK mid-November, non-stop on United currently $477, per Hipmunk.

Last time I saw fares this low was in 2006, where I flew SFO<->LHR for about $450. $250 of that was fees & taxes. United got $100 to fly me non stop to London.

There have been under ~$500 prices for West Coast to PEK and PVG with semi-regularity for the last 12 months.
