I wanted one back in the Commie days, when they weren't imported. China made more or less exact copies of the hunting rifle, not the target rifle, and I owned a couple in the past. They were cheap when they first came out, back in the 80s, and you could find them at gunshows for $75, IIRC. They had very ugly refrigerator-white stocks, I guess a native Chinese wood. We used to refer to them as "Chinos." No plastic on them except the butt plate. The two I owned were accurate, but a friend of mine's gun was awful. I stained the stocks on mine.
I did get a Brno Fox .22 Hornet through a brief loophole that allowed them to be imported. It was a good rifle after bedding, but the Commie wood work and fit and finish was disappointing. The current CZs, after the Communist party, are better.
