Maybe they have, and chose the opposite side of the globe intentionally…
I do not think the Chinese are capable of figuring things out, they let others do that and then steal it. Also that shows you that the Chinese do not really give a flip about other people and not even themselves. If Mike S is correct perhaps they are intentionally letting things fall out in the opposite side and could one day claim an accident instead of sending a nuclear missile.
Wow! it seems that a least a few folks are beginning to see the Chinese Communists for what the are. They are superb industrial and military information thieves, do not care about the environment, especially about carbon emissions (although they may be right on that one) essentially never tell the truth (see the most likely cause of the invention and spread of the Chinese Wuhan virus), the list goes on and on. And they own or control most of the GA companies now.
DC would just as soon it stay that way, and all our planes rot in the process. Meanwhile, Cessna will happily sell you a 50 year old design with a few upgrades for a years salary before taxes.
Working as intended? Nah, they just don’t care enough or are too stupid to realize why it matters to them. Maybe they will clue in when thousands of drones looking suspiciously like certified planes from former US companies come loaded with warheads at ourselves and our allies.
