FCTM again, careful before applying what you read! It is of limited scope:

Kindly be aware that as per Airbus FCOM, for LVP (exactly the scenario here), red warnings are NOT a go-around item below 1000' if capability is not degraded. My understanding is that red = critical and thus you land ASAP, which echoes the sentiments expressed above. Rarely does airmanship go against the books if you read them thorougly enough.

Full points to CAAC for being knowledgable and asking to see the same.
