Not so far, but you missed the point and Airbus isn't a Chinese company.


The point is manufacturing aircraft in China.

You claimed, "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."

Please elaborate what certification standards you are talking about and
why producing Beechcraft/Hawkers by a Chinese company in America would
be different than producing Beechcraft/Hawkers by a Chinese company in
China.
