In another step toward the Boeing 737 Max’s return to China’s skies, the aviation regulator has expressed satisfaction with the company’s proposed design changes for the model, which was grounded after two fatal crashes occurred within a few months.

The corrective measures to the aircraft’s flight control system software and display system will be able to resolve the safety issues that led to the crashes, according to a notice (link in Chinese) published by the airworthiness certification department of the Civil Aviation Administration (CAA).
