These aren’t the days of Tupolev or Ilyushin.
Yep, those areas where the politics did not interfere with the tech, manage to flourish in China. Larger companies, adhering to Western engineering and production methods, manage to grow into an international market. Though, let's be realistic about this: The "cheap" (affordable on the world market) engineering/production is largely due to slave-labor alike circumstances for the staff.
The same reasons why ME carriers can be successful: Slave labor circumstances with 24/7 airport use, ignoring the health of people living around the airports.
