So no, not banned at all, just severely restricted for at least the next 6 months. Will wait and see what the “Summer Schedule” airways allocation brings.

”Filipino coast guard, weird animal noises, followed by blatant insults aimed at someone’s mother”

The CAAC released the airways approved for use by foreigners for the Northern Winter schedule. The number of airways have been reduced from close to 400 to 109 (give or take a few).

While your Chinese colleagues get to fly the other routes?

Correct, and it has always been this way. It is just now that those airways you can use as a foreigner have been greatly reduced in number.

1. Language/military controllers can't converse in English that well
2. Yes, certain areas contain sensitive sites that cannot be viewed by non-security cleared foreign devils (though they will never admit it)
3. Some airports on the Western side are no go for foreigners due to whatever reason hence no reason to be able to fly on that airway.
Some of those airways are not even worthy of mention as most are very short anyway.
