There's often news of Chinese video game studios firing and jailing executive for kickbacks and corruption, but you never almost never hear this in western studios. Does this mean western studios don't have corruption or does it mean they are aren't aware?

There's a lot of corruption. Just look at Ubisoft and Activision/Blizzard. Constant sexual harassment and theft- I mean allocation of funds into strip clubs and parties. They have them every single year. Recently, bungie got caught stealing art again for the 4th or 8th time. They normally just fire the head or go into lawsuits. I don't think I've ever heard of jailing, though.

Does Chinese game studio ever look at making arcade flight sim genre like Ace Combat ?

I've only seen some indie developers making demos

It’s hard to imagine how they obtained the relevant design rights, let alone any data related to the flight features from both domestic and foreign aviation manufacturer

Ubisoft studio Singapore produced skull and bones after ~10 years, so its either brain dead level incompetence or corruption

It's not corruption if you legalize it. If Sweet Baby Inc was successful in extorting Game Science millions of dollars, would that be considered corruption since the industry in the West thinks it's okay to to do that? How about violating artistic integrity and creativity by demanding Game Science insert their political agenda into their games? The Western game industry would say that was okay to do.
