If everything is built to specification then it doesn't matter where it is built. And it can be verified if something was built to spec. Rest assured there will be excellent QA for production of every component.
Do you think they will just order a complete TR assy on alibaba, stick it on the new helicopter and take the president on the first test flight? Or do you expect the Chinese intelligence to reach for world domination by having tail rotors with a carefully engineered hidden flaw delivered for Marine One?
