Chinese C-130 Aircrafts

There were the Lockheed-Martin L-100 (Civilian version of the famous C-130 Hercules) airlifting cargos around China.

Three were imported by the CAAC during the Sino-US "honey moon" years of late 1980s. After 13 years of service, they were decommissioned in 2001.

China Defense Blog: Before Y-8
 
Why doesn't China make and market Cargo planes? No export restrictions, lots of nations, from Africa to South Asia will buy em. Flood, earthquake relief support.
 
I don't think Chinese have much problem with turbo-prop engines, it is the jet engines they have to further work on. New turbo-prop transport planes Y-8 will have capability similar to C-130.
