Hi Michael,

I'm based in Shanghai, have been here a couple of years, and as far as
I know, there's just one place in China where u can go gliding. I never
been there, it's about 3/400kms from Beijing but I cant find the link
of the website at the moment.

We are trying to change the situation here, but there's a matter of
airspace. I guess it gives a good idea of what could happen if we do
not lobby loud enough in Europe... Not nice.

So it seems. I guess it's the logical result of combining an unelected
government with no pre-existing GA activity.

If you ever drop by one of these days let me know, beware that the
first week of october is national holyday, hence everything we'll be
shut down, nationwide.

So I'm told. I think I'm going to be busy with various family things that
week anyway. I don't think we'll make it to Shanghai this trip,
unfortunately. In any case, soaring in a chemical plant's exhaust
sounds... unhealthy.

I'll mail you some more info as soon as i find them in my laptop..

Thanks, I appreciate it.
