China Denies Use of Air Space for Polish Government Delegation to Visit South Korea

if this is the way the Chinese want to act maybe NATO countries should all start denying the use of their airspace to Chinese government officials:

Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak’s planned visit to Seoul was canceled as China rejected the Polish government jet’s flight plan through its airspace.

According to officials, Blaszczak was scheduled to have a meeting with South Korean Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup here on Tuesday, but they ended up having a videoconference on Wednesday instead. He also missed the release ceremonies for weapons purchased recently by Poland in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province. 

Blaszczak and his delegation were supposed to use the Polish government’s jet to fly to Seoul via a direct air route over China. But China refused to allow the Polish delegation’s jet to enter its airspace. The Polish side reportedly considered using other air routes, but didn’t, as they would have required refueling and consumed too much time. 

Though the South Korean government did not elaborate on the background for the decision, it is speculated that China did not permit Poland’s jet to fly through its airspace because of its relationship with Russia and Seoul’s closer relations with NATO countries.
