within Chinese RVSM atc instructions will be given in meters since they adopted the metric RVSM, and then the conversion chart must be referenced to, keeping the altimeter readout in feet - a 30m error is considered to be acceptable.
One of those wonderful examples of 'Confusionism' that they thrive on.
