China has traditionally used the metric system for flight levels. For this reason, Chinese ATC normally issues flight level clearances in metres. However, modern aircraft usually use feet, so pilots use a special China RVSM conversion table to find the corresponding level in feet. The Chinese system still provides the required vertical separation between aircraft and is compatible with RVSM operations. So, in my opinion, the main reason is historical and operational: China has kept its national metric system while adapting it to international aviation requirements.
