There have been multiple cases of macho horseplay and brinksmanship games between the US and Chinese airforce, but has there ever been a case of a commercial heavy in two-way radio contact with traffic control being harmed or even harassed in China after declaring an emergency?
I agree with everything people say about Chinese inflexibility, adherence to the playbook, and passive-agressive behaviour; but on the other hand, compared to the average third world country, one can expect both compliance with chain-of-command from the base of the pyramid, and real competence from the higher up bureaucrats.
