Shanghai Sikorsky is a company founded by Sikorsky in China to produce very light helicopters.

On the second thought. They might use that as a leverage to force Sikorsky to transfer UAV control technology.

Sikorsky is owned by United Technologies, which makes a whole bunch of capital equipment, including Pratt and Whitney jet engines and Carrier air conditioners. Unless UT wants to risk losing Federal government contracts, it's not going to transfer anything to the Chinese unless it gets explicit permission to do so.
