China helicopter jobs.....where are they?
Nowhere. They have enough pilots of the various disciplines of their own. The days of foreign pilots filling the slots and training their replacement have gone. I know because I was one of them and went when my time was up. I was at my last operation on a visit a month ago and they are running it quite happily by themselves, thank you.

Any pilots they need for anything they get either company trained pilots or time served pilots from the PLA.

Airlines are different because of the overwhelming number of aircraft they have ordered or brought into service. The rotary world, now, or in the future is perfectly under control.
