Yes, in most cases. Some are narrower, for example the airway running up te east coast is only 10km from the centreline on the Taiwan side. Since RVSM has been introduced, Chinese ATC has been a bit more keen on tracking even telling pilots to apply offsets. All airspace in China is controlled and flight outside airways not often granted. as the majority is controlled by the military.
