They reported control problems at 7600' i.e. Less than 5 mins to landing in an emergency

I know that's what the airline said, but I wonder if they meant 7,600m given that it's Chinese airspace. Doesn't make sense to be down at 7,600ft halfway to Shanghai.
I'm guessing they were 7600' on decent during their emergency diversion to Jeju. Perhaps if they had kept going to Shanghai they would have already been on the ground if the assumptions in my previous post were correct.
