More so, do you honestly think that either Cessna OR your country's
respective aviation authorities are going to let obviously shoddy
unreliable or dangerous aircraft get anywhere near the hands of Joe
Bloggs the pilot?!

Please, at least show some common sense here.

Cessna have obviously done thier homework, they have weighed the pros
and cons, and at the end of the day, the most effective solution
presented itself.

The anti-Chinese backlash here isn't surprising, it's probably more
anti-anythingoverseas and that's understandable. But it is the ebb-flow of
international economics and the USA certainly has had its share of that
upside in the past.

No, Cessna damn well knows what they are doing and even if it is a
calculated risk, hey can survive it but they might less well survive their
competition beating them to this Chinese punch.
