General aviation-related companies are setting up shop in aeronautic hub

Faku, a county near Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning province, has lofty aims. It wants to be China's "light air capital" with an annual production of 1,000 light aircraft within five years, as well as a center for developing technology and talent in the industry.

Spurred by the burgeoning domestic private jet market, Faku has experienced rapid growth at its Faku General Aviation Base, one of the largest in the country.
