Can "HKG Radar" controllers please stop slowing down aircraft 15nm before CYBER expecting us to make the FL260 restriction...

We descent at about 280kts or faster to reach CYBER at exactly FL260 - any reduction at short notice will screw up this profile and require more speed and/or speed brake.

How about "CX... reduce speed 250kts, CYBER FL260 cancelled..."

Thanks,
AB
Or you could simply accept the clearance and state that you will now be unable FL260 at CYBER. I do this regularly and ATC has always been accommodating.
