Shenyang News (Local Government News):

The final assembly plant at the new SAC factory complex was successfully completed in June 2025, and construction of the product assembly lines has already begun.

Can you give the location of this factory? Will be interesting to keep an eye out in satellite images.

Well, as far as we know, the new facility is ready but not yet producing ... as such YES, but not as much as some already claim in certain social media posts!
