This is so cool! Although I'm a little concern about a possible terrorist looking into a possible flight pattern to strike again.

Unfortunately, Asia outside Japan seems to be lacking..

there is a massive article in Combat Aircraft about EC-175/Z-15

roughly about production it says

EC175 c/n S01 the first production series is destined for Bristow helicopters for maiden flight before end of this year

S02 is the second production series EC175 will be the first to be delivered to a customer

S03 was delivered from China in spring of 2012 while S04 followed in summer

current production is undertaken block based line in Marignane until serial production begins on a moving line with 10 assembely stations

about 10 aircraft are due for production in 2012 including S01-S04 and 24 in 2013

Harbin builds the structures, flight controls and fuel systems and cabs and other components are delivered from Beijing to France by air but soon will be by sea

so looks like Z-15 is now reaching good scale production and will pick up soon, if China does want this for its military they will have everything in place by ~2014-15

eneral Electric Co. (GE) is becoming one of the major overseas beneficiaries of China's home-made aircraft project through close cooperation with the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).

GE AVIC Civil Avionics Systems Co., Ltd., an avionics supplier company between AVIC and GE, was officially established recently, the reporter learnt from AVIC on Oct. 21.

The joint venture will serve to provide top techniques and product solutions for the comprehensive avionics system to be developed in the next-generation commercial aircraft project.

In the past, AVIC had mainly concentrated on the development of military aircraft and lacked experience in avionics configuration for commercial aircraft, according to an insider in domestic aviation industry.

On the other hand, GE has made considerable compromise for the establishment of the joint venture. This is the first time that GE has built an equally-owned company with a Chinese enterprise in the core filed of aviation manufacturing and integrated its avionics segment into the joint venture, while most foreign avionics companies are more likely to take controlling stakes in the joint company due to concerns of protecting core technology and ensuring commercial interests.
