Airbus broke ground on its 2nd final assembly line in 's Tianjin City. The groundbreaking marks another milestone in Airbus-China partnership.
After the completion of the project, the annual production capacity of assembling 72 A320 series aircraft will be increased, and the entire factory will have the annual production capacity of assembling 144 A320 series aircraft..

very interesting notes proposals here from MIIT. They did mention SAF on domestic produced aircraft a lot, but I think they should talk more about how to develop that from their current resources. If they are going to be green hydrogen & methanol leaders, then they should devote more R&D into developing SAF from that.
electric aircraft portion is also interesting. They talk about the 500wh/kg battery that CATL is clearly testing out right now with COMAC
hybrid motor is another interesting proposal
First unmanned eVTOL has been given type certificate by CAAC
this is a first in the world and it's for Ehang's EH216-S

the top view looks tiny, but engine rotation suggest otherwiseShanghai has been for its E20 eVTOL. The permit allows the company to commence flight testing to obtain certification for E20.
keep in mind that getting type certificate is a long process, but once you get it, minor updates can be made without going through the long process again. So in the case of EH216-S, they may be able to upgrade battery density without having to go through the testing again
overall, CAAC will have to work with FAA and EASA to figure out a eVTOL testing process that matches across the board. it would be crazy to have to go through whole testing again with FAA
