If you're referring to the seeming sabotage by the aircrew, that can happen in any nation.
If you're referring to the seeming suppression of embarrassing conclusions by the Chinese government, that is working as they feel it should.

China government is stonewalling the safety report:
> And then they went silent. International standards require a final report as soon as possible – and, if more than 12 months, annual interim statements. They have not provided updates in over two yeras.
Number 2, it won't work in the long run, eventually they will have their Korean Air moment and go fuller in on transparency and modern crew resource management.
Possibly.
Or, it's also possible that they will continue a "case-by-case, only so far as it serves our interests" buffet-restaurant policy. Choosing Western ideals and practices can carry non-trivial political costs in China.
Definitely. I just don’t think it will work for them that well and it will force a change later. Especially when they start really selling their own planes internationally and want to make the world have confidence in them.
