Over Russia has been RVSM FLs for some years now... But it would be nice to have feet and QNH below TL.

How would the transition be handled for a flight crossing the boundary ?

There is no transition, because flightlevel in feet stays flightlevel in feet.

oh nice to hear. It will be a lot easier for us in the Approach, no need to deal with QFE and add feet
Hopefully China will go to Feet instead of meteres
Anyway, this is if I ever return to fly one day
