They build their own.

China itself won't do it, but I forsee that less savoury third parties are probably very interested in partaking this potential highly profitable triangular trade route.

- ElectricalUnion 5y agoTu-204? It's performance and efficiency are horrible by Western standards, but it's by no mean bad enough to be unusable. Irkut MC-21? Most of the actual aircraft don't need to be big to be effective. Russia actually has a small population for it's size. They actually (well, not anymore) build a substantial ammount of Ukranian aircraft as well, most of the Ukraine Antonov aircraft was more or less actually manufactured in Russia.
