Vern, The Chinks have been making the tail sections and wings for the Boeing 747 for years.....no kidding. They are now making fuselage parts for the 757 and 767's. This stuff is then flown to Boeing's plant in Washington and married to the rest of the airplane. Part of this deal is why the Chinese air industry mainly operates Boeing aircraft instead of Tupolevs. About 10-15 years ago when the Iron Curtain really began to fall down and tons of Commie surplus became available....the Chinese MiGs were reputed to exhibit the very best of workmanship...better than any of the Russian or eastern bloc stuff. I recall reading that the first load of Chinese MiG 15's arrived in San Francisco....fully armed. They had never removed the cannon or missile control systems. When the Chinese offer a fighter for sale...that's what you get....ready to go:)! Point is.....the Chinese are very capable of making the finest to be had and in some instances, they have been making high quality for many years. The military had access to the best of the best and the private sector lagged behind. Now that the Maoist's have passed into oblivion, the money is being invested in the private sector......civilian industry...and you will see things get better.
