I'd demand my deposit back.

why? just because it is made in China?


Yes and No. I doubt any one of those x00 people that paid the deposit at OSH
thought they were ordering an aircraft that was going to be built in China
by a third party. They were willing to pay a premium because they were
buying an airplane built by Cessna. They are not.

That said I might consider an aircraft contracted to an outside builder but
not if it was built in China. I'm forced to buy many things built in China
because either they are the only option or because of price. In this case
there are aircraft just as capable if not more so at a lower price either
built in the US or other countries where social and political beliefs are
not odds with my own.
