It's sad to see people still think Chinese Government control the production. NOPE NOPE NOPE. In MODERN DAY CHINA that stared 40 years ago, the firearm manufacture EMEI (the civilian firearm division under Jianshe Corp) controls the production and they have their own production schedule that has nothing to do with Chinese government. They are on their own providing production to various clients (including Norinco) just like any other normal firearm manufactures. And EMEI that makes type 81 for Canada is not even the major supplier of Chinese military firearm in the first place. So if TI want to rush the production or meet the claimed delivery date, they DO NOT NEED TO SWAY the entire Chinese government, this is ridiculous.
If the gun did not arrive at the end of Q3, the first batch of T81 for Canada is simply in production queue, as EMEI have multiple clients and different orders, they will arrange their production accordingly. whether the T81 can be delivery on time depends on the pressure and communication between TI and EMEI. But since we have such small number of orders, it is hard for TI to pressure a giant factory with multiple giant clients.
Hey youre the guy with contacts deep inside emei!! Why havent YOU given us an update yet? Have you run out of lies yet??
