China is investing $80 billion in aviation projects this year alone - Business Insider

Good to hear that China is investing $80 billion in air travel infrastructure, but at the same time you can't fly 10-20nm around a TS because all the airspace is blocked.

Let's hope the Chinese will learn something from this incident and in the way they 'manage' their airspace and that it takes more than just runways and terminal buildings to build an aviation infrastructure, but somehow I seriously doubt it.

By the way, am I the only one who get's the distinct impression that Chinese ATC deliberately tries to screw non-Chinese airlines by refusing weather deviations and also sometimes forcing you to fly 4000, 8000 or even 10000 feet below normal cruising levels?
