For info the Civil Chinese controllers we talk to are as frustrated as you and me about the military airspace situation, but they have to follows their SOPs like all of us.
Exactly!
Exercise command and take the fate of your aircraft and the passengers therein out of the hands of a Chinese ATC/Military SOP ....... don't endanger your aeroplane because you can't get permission for a reroute !
Can't see any of the old skool types like John Wayne running into the CB for the want of an ATC clearance !
