My concern about the Chineese isn't their ability and/or lack of it. They have been caught in the past with counterfit airplane parts (i.e. Boeing aftermarket) of lesser quailty and are known to be loose on enforcement.
I want to know there is a lot of intregrity supporting anything I fly.
I have always been of the opinion that many asian cultures place the responsibility for QC on the buyer vs. the producer. That plus the complete lack of a tort system to help incentivize quality makes it ripe for corruption.
You could ask a Chinese company to produce something like lawn darts (remember those) and they would do it without question or fear of reprisal.
No Chinese airplane test piloting for me either.
