High Elevation Airport as En-Route Alternate

Hi guys, got a question that I can't quite find the answer to, maybe some of you guys will know. As you may know, there are many high elevation/altitude airports in China, airlines flying to these airports need special training for their pilots, but what if it's just being declared as an en-route alternate? Is it legal to file it as an en-route alternate? do the pilots still need the special training? given that the airport is suitable and adequate of course. Any ideas? Best if there's a regulation, AC or anything official that explains this. Thanks!!!
