China weighs ordering hundreds of Airbus jets in major trade deal.
"... the order could range between 200 and as many as 500 aircraft".
That's across the range of options, including narrow and wide body jets.

China used to be working on their own jet design - the COMAC. But apparently that is only a narrow-body design and isn't suitable for the long distance flights that wide-body planes can make. The COMAC is mostly a competitor to the 737 or A320 short haul workhorses.
