Default Chinese use of ion/electric thrusters?

China has imported satellites using ion/electrical thrusters for
station-keeping and/or attitude control, and Chinese engineers have
published papers on their experiments in this area. I can't find,
though, an example of a Chinese indigenous satellite using Chinese-
built thrusters of this type. Have they still not reached that stage?

Thanks, Matt Bille
