Throw in a bit of poor English... how do Chinese ATC avoid altitude confusion?
Now maintaining 9780m/32100’.
Simples. Do as you are told and if in doubt "say again".
I bet that Chinese ATC's English is better than your mandarin.
Looks like flight level 7 thousand 4 hundred metres, flight level 8 thousand 4 hundred metres, then flight level 9 thousand 8 hundred metres.
All standard metric levels.
You are welcome.
