Reports say Hainan Airlines has started to fit its 737 and A320 fleets with X-CVR as early as 2018. So it looks like such technology already exists in China, although it's unclear whether MU has started to fit their 737s with the system.
We've already been told that all Chinese airlines are already continuously streaming FDR and CVR data - is that not the case ?
