Chinese? yes. 1 speed.
I found a 7 speed version that looks very close. There seems to be dozens of no-name brands of these with slight variations. 1-piece vs 3 piece cranks, side pull brake vs v-brakes, 1 speed vs 7 speed, etc. sold for $250- $300 for the 1 speed versions.

36 spoke 24 inch rims. A good source for rims would be a used wallyworld bike with the same size rim. Cheaper than buying new rims. My local bike coop has piles of those.
A bit of rust including some spoke nipples. Those will surely resist turning.
The fender supports are bolted on. Those will need to come off to remove the wheels. The wheels are held on with a nut at the end of the axles.
Another note, the right side crank arm looks very bent. Nothing that can be straightened safely. But cheap enough to replace.
Missing spokes isn't a big issue on these. 3 wheels to carry the weight that 2 normally carry. Most get bent from side loading like someone hot dogging by riding up on 2 wheels and leaning way over. Wobbly wheels are bigger issue, especially at speed. it will shake like crazy. These up right trikes aren't all that stable to start with. This one looks braced pretty well. The oversized frame tubes will sure help keep it stronger.
