This has been going on for some time, but those Westerners who subsequently work for the PLA risk being charged and imprisoned on return to their countries. Arrest, demotion and imprisonment is a strong deterrent to assist the PLA (e.g. training PLA pilots) and this is becoming more and more likely and prevalent these days. Thrse assistances will be less likely now under the strained political and economic relationships between the West and China. The CCP is strongly behind the eightball militarily, if it cannot develop these carrier combat skills on their own. This is copycat again. The Western carrier pilots expect equal expertise in combat with opponents against them. Hence, the CCP seems to be unable to develop novel naval tactics on its own terms. The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) was able to develop it's own novel carrier based tactics on the late 1930s- early 1940s, so this backwardness is a political-cultural function of the CCP. Not because they are Asian and totalitarian (because Showa Japan was).
