Not to worry. They excel at intellectual property theft, so it’s probably state of the art.

If you follow these things soon Chinese aircraft PARTS will be imported into the USA. That will go on for about 10 years. Next it will be entire AIRCRAFT. Of course the Chinese will maintain their huge tariffs on imports. What an f job.

The Chinese still have the “save face” philosophy the Japs used to have but got over. So the natural inclination is to cover up ones mistakes not report them. This does not work well in aircraft assembly.

"No way I would ever fly in a Chinese built plane."

I wouldn't either, regardless that many components are made (currently) in the U.S. or Europe. The wings, fuselage and tail ARE made in China. Most of the basic core components. And, the whole thing is assembled IN China by a state run company.

A big, resounding, no thank you!

I always seek out Boeing whenever possible and am almost always successful.the only exception was when I had several opportunities to fly the A380.

As for a Chinese made aircraft...or automobile....I'll *walk* first!

I would rather fly in a Chinese plane than one built by Boeing or Airbus union slugs. Say what you want about the Chinese, but they have kept wages in check worldwide, which is good for job creation.

The deal is now the Chinese just have to keep Fat Boy in line and the greatest transfer of wealth in the world's history can continue unabated.

If the Democrats figure out how to run a Presidential candidate who is actually tough on trade it will be all over for the GOP.

What an anti American disloyal jacka$$ thing to say. Marx was a free traitor just like you. China is a communist country and you are a big fan, besides being a globalist jerk face, so are you a Communist?

God And Country First? Talk about a lie! You insult both God and your countrymen.

I am sure the ChiComms didn't order them to make these purchases. No not possible.

I still remember the early ‘90s when Chinese missiles were falling in the ocean weekly.

I’ll bet Aeroflot will buy a few to improve their safety record.

158-seat C919 passenger aircraft

If they sold it to American Airlines, it would probably hold a dozen more and be a 170 seater. Of course, they'd need to put in a couple of toilets instead of just having a hole in the floor.

For God’s sake,read the article,much of it USA made.

I'll bet the cabin smells like a Harbor Freight store, anyway.

Boeing aircraft are also assembled from parts made in many countries. That’s the choice of Boeing, who once said that they view themselves as an international company. Undoubtedly this leads to outward technology flow and the reduction of American industrial capacity. The Chinese will be smarter than that.

You may be on the wrong forum.

There are more Christians in China than there are in the US.

(Yes, the US currently has a slight edge in numbers if you count the apostate mainline denominations. I’m talking real believers).

In one Chinese city, the children from an ‘underground’ church held an anti-abortion protest. Try that in the US, and you’d probably either have them beaten by leftists, or hit with a court injunction and receive visits from CPS.

So if you really do put God first, you probably should look to Christianized countries like Russia and China, not Christ hating countries like the US that legalize perversion and persecute Christians.

Two things are the difference maker here for me:

1. Where is the entire plane assembled?
2. Who makes the majority of the critical parts.

I grew up at the beginning of the jet age. Airliners crashed regularly, usualy727s. I even worked with an engineer who survived such a crash. He was in the back of the fuselage, the area that broke off and didn’t burn. His wife, a stewardess on the same airplane was burned badly. The technology of the time just couldn’t deal with the new technology. I wonder how China will do? I have to go there next month.
