Yes, but "delay not determined" suggests that ATC don't know what's causing the delay. Quid pro quo, they don't know what's going on. Does Chinese ATC really have that little authority / awareness? If so, maybe it's time for the powers that be in China to re-think their policy. Otherwise the centralized, secretive, overbearing control system will become swamped.
It seems that the above model is used in all walks of life in China where "the workers" just do as they're told. This may work in old Chinese culture, but as China's ties with the West grow I can see potential friction between such cultures.
