Yes, China. In their defense 90% of the countries airspace is rigidly controlled by the military & they deal with far more adverse weather than Australian ATC do. And they are a developing country. We have no such defense.
So yes, it is a massive snafu & an embarassment to those of us who ply the aviation trade outside Australia.
