No neila83, it's China.
If you're a local carrier your too terrified to deviate and/or ask permission to do so. If you're hkg based you just get on with it, jump up and down, declare a pan or mayday if you need to. If you're a foreign carrier, you might be to ingrained with the idea that ATC is there to help you (like in the USA, hence the Delta hail incident) to even consider the fact that the pilots and atc aren't working together to avoid an inflight break up.
That's China for you.
Yay
