hello,
Of course, he is not aCFI as long as he pass the CAAC test to become an aCFI. The test has to be administrated by the CFI and without one, he will have to do it with the CAAC. Every acfi and cfi without approval of the CAAC are just in a temporary position waiting for approval from Beijing. And the chief of standards is probably also illegal because the guy in charge did not have the power to do it.
As usual it is a mess and it is not the end. It will go farther down before it get up again.
Have a nice weekend.
