The office of the Trade Commissioner Service has organized Canadian helicopter manufacturers to take part in an exposition in China co-hosted by the Chinese military and another U.S.-black-listed state-owned Chinese entity that has supplied parts to the Russian military during its war on Ukraine.

The China Helicopter Exposition, held in Tianjin, China, from Oct. 16 to 19, is co-hosted by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Ground Force and the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
