How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN/ZGGG) the live call is landing 02L+02R+01R, departure 02L+02R with METAR wind 10° @ 8 kt. 02L shows 8.0 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 0.6 kt crosswind from the left. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every ZGGG threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
