GA helicopters in China are virtually unknown. Airspace is so heavily regulated that any movement needs prior authorisation. Even in wide open VFR there has to be 5 mins seperation between aircraft. The time will come eventually but only when the PLA loses its grip.
All our pilots, so far, in COHC were trained by the Chinese Navy. They are thinking about a civilian training system but they will probably, like China Southern etc be trained overseas.
