China no longer sends data in the old text 'TEMP' format.  They only send BUFR data for soundings.

Hello,

We are requesting the "WMO" feedtype listed here:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/feedtypes/
which seems like it should include international/global upper air data. However, when searching for upper air data from China specifically, I cannot locate any. I see data from Hong Kong, Japan, Does anyone have any information as to why we don't see anything from China? Is it in a different feedtype or is it well known that data from China aren't routinely found in these feeds? 

Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone might have.

-Dan
