Ms. Jane Nu Zhang, President of Silk Wings Aviation, brought AirVenture attends up to date on happenings in Chinese GA.
China, unlike many U.S. corporations is taking a long term perspective in order to go from a consumer of aviation products to becoming a producer. Ms. Zhang pointed out that most U.S. companies dealing with China want a “clean” deal, i.e., sale. China recognizes that it doesn’t have the expertise to produce GA aircraft and components.
