other than that the rest should be all russian/chinese turbo prop or maybe CAAC flying college still have some.
Turbo prop is not popular in china simply because the prejudice, everyone believe the bigger jets are safer. Even the chinese own Y-7 / MA-60 can not escape, not a single chinese operator buy them but luckily they sold some to Zimbabwe and Indonisia.
