I still don't get the reason why they wouldn't just buy Be-200s (whether liscencened or purchased from)?

Russia has enough issues manufacturing Be-200s for itself given the lack of availability of the Ukrainian Progress D-436TP engine it uses.
It is supposed to be replaced with a variant of the PD-8 engine. But the PD-8 will only enter service in 2 years at best. It remains to be seen when a variant for the Be-200 will be made after that. The PD-8 engine will further need to be modified to be more resistant to salt water.

re: aviation design software it claims that
The various kinds of aviation design software—aerodynamics software, structural design software, system design software, and assembly software—are “all products from countries in Europe and North America.” Designing both civilian and military aircraft is impossible without them.
Aviation design software is essentially a “skull-squeezing curse”; if foreign companies stop providing China with the software, the PRC aviation industry will be “paralyzed.”
Chinese Professor Yao Weixing (姚卫星) of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Center for Security and Emerging Technology (南京航空航天大学) has developed a world-class structural fatigue analysis software program, but as of yet, “no domestically produced software can be seen in circulation and use in the market.”

SMH. There is no local substitute for CATIA. If sanctioned, search for a crack, I suppose.

the document was compiled from articles published in 2018, I wonder if there have been progresses to develop local alternatives in the meantime

btw, these software shouldn't have backdoors, right? they'd have to be thoroughly checked before usage
