No. Well aware of that fact. It was also over 50 years ago..the world has moved on. If you seriously think that China will shoot down a CX airliner on a regularly scheduled flight on a recognised airway, then you go ahead and turn around or go into a holding pattern (and what if they won't "let" you do either of those manouvers either?). I won't fly into a dangerous CB. I will divert around it. CX, CAD, ICAO and China can sort out the details later.
