===Chinese production controversy=== [[File:Cessna 162 Skycatcher N5201K 1010.JPG|thumb|right|[[Cessna 162 Skycatcher]]]] On November 27, 2007, Cessna announced the then-new [[Cessna 162]] would be built in [[China]] by [[Shenyang Aircraft Corporation]], which is a subsidiary of the China Aviation Industry Corporation I (AVIC I), a Chinese [[Government-owned corporation|government-owned]] consortium of aircraft manufacturers. Cessna reported that the decision was made to save money and also that the company had no more plant capacity in the United States at the time. Cessna received much negative feedback for this decision, with complaints centering on the recent quality problems with Chinese production of other consumer products, China's human rights record, exporting of jobs and China's less than friendly political relationship with the United States. The customer backlash surprised Cessna and resulted in a company public relations campaign. In early 2009, the company attracted further criticism for continuing plans to build the 162 in China while laying off large numbers of workers in the United States. In the end, the Cessna 162 was not a commercial success and only a small number were delivered before production was cancelled.<ref name="chooses">{{cite press release |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Cessna Chooses China's Shenyang Aircraft Corporation as Manufacturing Partner for Model 162 SkyCatcher|url=http://investor.textron.com/news/news-releases/press-release-details/2007/Brian-P-Allison-named-Vice-President--General-Manager-ROTHENBERGER-USA-/default.aspx|location=Beijing|publisher=[[Textron]]|date=November 27, 2007|access-date=April 21, 2008}}</ref><ref name="AV made">{{cite news|last1=Niles|first1=Russ|title=Skycatcher To Be Made in China|url=http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Cessna_Skycatcher_MadeInChina_196672-1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080103155825/http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Cessna_Skycatcher_MadeInChina_196672-1.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 3, 2008|access-date=February 10, 2008|publisher=AVweb|date=November 27, 2007}}</ref><ref name="making case">{{cite web|last1=Aniello|first1=Tom|title=Making the case for building the SkyCatcher in China|url=http://www.cessnaSkycatcher.com/home/124.html|website=Cessna SkyCatcher|publisher=Cessna|access-date=April 21, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080106070032/http://www.cessnaskycatcher.com/home/124.html|archive-date=January 6, 2008|date=December 7, 2007|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref name="Germany">{{cite news|last1=Grady|first1=Mary|title=Germany's Remos Aircraft Expanding, Challenges Cessna|url=http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/RemosAircraft_Germany_Expanding_ChallengesCessna_196872-1.html|access-date=April 21, 2008|publisher=AVweb|date=January 2, 2008|archive-date=June 12, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612015805/http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/RemosAircraft_Germany_Expanding_ChallengesCessna_196872-1.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="layoffs"/><ref>{{cite web |last=Grady |first=Mary |url=http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/End-Of-The-Road-For-Skycatcher221429-1.html |title=End Of The Road For Skycatcher? |date=February 11, 2014 |publisher=Avweb |access-date=February 12, 2014 |archive-date=February 21, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221221238/http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/End-Of-The-Road-For-Skycatcher221429-1.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Marsh |first=Alton K. |url=http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2014/February/10/Skycatcher.aspx |title=Skycatcher reaches inglorious end |publisher=AOPA |access-date=February 12, 2014}}</ref><ref name="scrapped">{{cite web |url=http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Cessna-Scraps-Unsold-Skycatchers-228208-1.html |title=Cessna Scraps Unsold Skycatchers |last=Kauh |first=Elaine |publisher=AVweb |date=December 15, 2016 |access-date=December 16, 2016 |archive-date=December 16, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161216155838/http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Cessna-Scraps-Unsold-Skycatchers-228208-1.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
