It's funny, while Auto and appliance makers are pulling a lot of their work out of china due to poor quality, Cessna would give China the whole airframe ( I assume the U.S. will be suppling avionics and powerplants).
But quality is not the bigest problem in China. How long untill they produce their own LSA that looks suprisingly like the new cessna for half the price?

So far the majority of the orders placed for the LSA have been from owner operators, not flight schools. Avionics will be the Garmin 300, and Lycoming engine.
