Hawker Beech has been sold to a Chinese aviation company. My guess is that, in
ten years, there won't be anything American about Beech except the name, if
even that is retained.

Given the way aircraft are certified, that isn't very likely unless they
recertify all the existing aircraft, which would be very stupid and the
Chinese are not stupid.

And there is still Hawker Beechcraft Defense Co., which is not effected
by the sale of the GA division.

Beech is no more going to be "Chinese" than Budweiser, Michelob, and
Corona Extra have become Belgian-Brazilian.
