ATC in China
A number of years ago I read that China was "by-passing" a great deal of navigation infrastructure (VORs, NDBs, Radars, etc.) and moving directly to satellites and GPS.
I know they've opened a couple of ACCs in the past couple of years along with updating airports. Does anyone know if they are using something like ADSB for ATC?
Does anyone have any contacts in China (anywhere in Asia, for that matter) they'd care to share? China could well the future in many respects, aviation included. I'd like to learn more.

Airservices Australia has had a fair bit to do with China in the past couple of years. It seems that every 6 months we have another delegation from China touring the Brisbane Centre, looking at our ATM system, Eurocat 2000.
I think that they are trying to modernise their ATM system and thats why they're looking at our TAAATS. Oz and China are similar in size, radars, navaids etc. Consequently, they're looking at how Oz does things.
