Just get a Universal Aerial Refueling system put on it. That's about the only way you'll be able to fly it to the countries you listed with the airplane link you have. Go to cessna.com and select the range maps and then select a few different Citations.

Go Citation, supersonic trips!

You won't be using s skycatcher for those trips nor a 172, 182 206 etc. They simply won't travel that far nor carry enough fuel to travel those distances! Speed isn't the only issue you have you have to have the RANGE and weight ability as well. Most people would only consider JETS for those trips. Check the CItation series. The skycatcher has a range of 470 nm .. that should dump you somewhere in the OCEAN!

Do yourself a favor...take the money that was planned on purchasing the Cessna,...put it in the bank and withdraw it whenever you want to fly to China or the US via Business Class. The speed and other details are not important but the safety factor is crucial. You could end up taking a dip in the ocean and becoming "fish-food" or have a technical breakdown and/or get stranded on an island filled with cannibals. Just the costs of over-flight permits, air-way charges, fuel etc...etc...will POKE a hole in your pocket so deep that you cannot imagine. If you got the cash,...buy a Gulfstream IV or large Corporate Jets.
