Mooney unveils new Diesel powered plane
The company said the aircraft will be aimed at both the mature global training market and the developing market in China and Asia. The M10T is a fixed-gear design powered by Continental's CD-135 diesel and is meant to provide what Mooney calls a seamless step up to Mooney's traditional fast and efficient cruisers, the M20 line.

I would be leery of anything aviation built in China, to bad Mooney US went under
