China Air (And Naval) Travel: Everybody Knows The Trouble I've Seen, Part IV

The always interesting Beijing Newspeak has a great post up on China's recent air traffic delays right on the heels of its new air traffic control regulations nearly doubling airspace for civilian aircraft. The post is entitled, "Your flight is delayed. Why? Unspecified reasons," and it does a great job of weaving in the role of the PLA (China's army) in air traffic control (and delays) and it also perhaps solves the Kitty Hawk mystery.
