Why is it news? I believe PRC was planning to import the civilian model Boeing 234 in the 80's for CAAC. I don't know the status of that deal though.

In addition, I thought CATIC had an agreement to co produce Boeing 234 with Boeing.
Boeing agrees on Chinese Chinook

I don't see the point of it. Why should China try to get Ch-47 where it can easily get Mi-26 from Russia. Mi-26 flies faster, carries more payloads and has a longer ranger.

True, Chinook is still a nice looking bird.

The Chinook design has its own benefits.

Saving cost and we could mass produce it. Our target is to flush enemy down the toilet.

Another grainy picture - must have been a China phone camera, or is it the pollution?

MI-26 is too big to be operated, CH-47 is more flexible.

If you put the picture in a clear pixel, the national security will invite you for having tea.
