It's definitely going to be a problem. This is the same country that allows
what is essentially toxic waste in baby formula. But most conservative
Americans buy the Republican line and won't really care about all the jobs
and companies going over to China until they see their first Chinese-made
car racing in NASCAR. By then it will be too late.

Airbus builds aircraft in China and will soon do so in the US. Has
certification been an impediment?

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.
