("8月31日,一则 '世界最大运输机安-225落户中国' 的新闻被中国大陆媒体纷纷报道。 * * * 报道称,中国空域产业集团还分别与四川泸州市政府和广西贵港市政府签署合作协议,双方将在泸州市和贵港市建设A-225 [sic: should be An-225]飞机生产基地 * * * 俄罗斯 '观点报' 网站31日报道称,乌克兰安东诺夫国有企业已经否认了乌克兰将会把 '巨无霸' 安-225飞机及技术卖给北京的消息")
Note:
(a) Google times the above report as "4 hours ago."
(b) 世界最大运输机A-225 '嫁入' 中国. 经济参考报, Aug 31, 2016 ("19 hours ago")
started the whole frenzy.
(c)
(i) Gareth Jennings, China and Ukraine agree to restart An-225 production. IHS Jane's Defence Weekly, Aug 31, 2016 ("4 hours ago"/ blog)
("according to China's STCN [证券时报, which explicitly cites 经济参考报] news organisation and the Ukrainian Business Channel (UBR)")
(ii) Tony Osborne, AVIC, Antonov Partner On An-225 Development. Aviation Week, Aug 31, 2016 ("31 minutes ago"/ blog).
(d) So it is hard to tell the truth at this time -- 4:30 pm, EDT, Aug 31.
