Ironically, Hawker Beechcraft got the Military to overturn their contract for the Light Attack aircraft that they lost....because a Brazilian company won the contract....Hawker Beechcraft, and many politicians, felt that it was wrong to award the contract to a foreign-owned company, over an American one. Now, with the re-opened competition, a Brazilian company will be competing with a Chinese company for that same contract.

PS-Cessna is also opening a Citation factory in China, much like how Airbus is opening a factory in Alabama.
