It has been removed totally from the FE website. Their calendar now only shows it as a 13 race championship. (With the final round in London being a double race weekend)
https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/champ.../race-calendar

The FIA statement I linked to previously says all the parties will "continue monitoring the situation as it develops. All parties will take the appropriate amount of time to study the viability of potential alternative dates should the situation improve.

In other words they wont consider any viability of alternative dates until the situation warrants it. It is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, and with those who know stating there is no hope of any antidote or vaccine until mid year at the earliest at best it is unlikely.

Dont forget their season is not a calendar year.... their championship started last year and finishes in July this year, with London guaranteed the final race.

We should probably return to the topic, that being the F1 GP. I only raised the Chinese FE removal from their calendar to highlight the fact all parties involved had discussed and mutually agreed on their action. It was not led by any one side, be it promoter, organiser, owner or government.
