Default Chinese new regional jet

Well, it has officially started.

China has rolled out a new jet that is a knockoff from an American passenger
jet.

From AvWeb:

Shenyang used much of the tooling left over from McDonnell-Douglas's aborted
attempt to build MD-90s in China and the "new" airplane has the same cabin
cross section and nose as the DC-9 family.

Does anyone have any doubt that China will copy any airplane that a
manufacturer decides to build there?

Cessna (and others) have screwed up, big time, IMHO.
