It was a joint JPL / AeroVironment (who make all manner of drones from tiny to big) / NASA Ames / NASA Langley project. A Chinese co. would not likely be invited to bid on such a project in any case. -- "...there are many humorous things in this world; among them the white man's notion that he is less savage than the other savages." -Samuel Clemens
