I noticed that flights from Europe to Japan seem to avoid China, is that because of China or for other technical reasons?
Every time you cross an ATC boundary, you pay a fee. The flight already paid Russia the ATC fees for the long flight over their territory, why would they pay China too, to save just a bit in fuel costs?
PS: That is unless the country is in an bi-lateral agreement with the flight operator country, then they don’t pay any fees (EU countries for example, USA ATC is free, etc.).
