Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) deputy administrator Hu Zhenjiang emphasized the agency's commitment to aviation safety during a keynote presentation at the China Business Aviation Safety Day 2021 in early April in Chengdu. The event, which was jointly held by AsBAA and the U.S.-China Aviation Cooperation Program (ACP), hosted more than 150 business aircraft pilots, OEMs, MROs, FBOs, EMS, airport, and government representatives in the year's first in-person event for the Asian business aviation industry.

In a historical first, NTSB, FAA, and CAAC officials delivered virtual keynote presentations followed by expert presentation sessions covering a range of safety topics relevant to business and general aviation in mainland China. All sessions were augmented with live English/Chinese dual language interpretation for all attendees.
