Default Collision Averted At Shanghai Hongqiao

A China Eastern A330 had just landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport on runway 36R and was taxiing to the terminal and neeeded to cross 33L. It was told to hold short of 36L, but did not.
A China Eastern A320 was accelerating for take off down 36L and was at about 110 KIAS when the crew sighted the A330. The crew assessed that they would not be able to stop in time so continued their take off "firewalling" the throttles and rotated at 130 KIAS clearing the A330.
