China admits use of Russian Orlan suit for Shenzhou-7 spacewalk

In this story published at 13:19h GMT today on state owned news website chinadaily.com.cn it is stated that, "two taikonauts would enter the orbital module, where one would put on domestically-made spacesuit Feitian and leave the module to take back test samples loaded outside, said Zhou Jianping, chief designer of the country's manned space project. The other would wear a Russian Orlan suit and stay in the depressurized cabin for support"

Russia's Orlan suit manufacturer Zvezda declined to comment on questions about the Chinese purchasing space suits earlier this year
