The Chinese have had a tech-choke point of Turbo-fan engine technologies. GE will give it to them.

You're absolutely right on that. That does worry me, and I gather GE is going to build a plant over there. The only upside is that it's not for "state of the art" engines as used in fighters and cruise missiles.

The muck heads at GE are totally blind to geopolitics. They have six sigma up their posteriors and get quasi orgasmic when decribing how they are using sigma to build greenfield sites in the PRC to build jet engines and their parts. To them, hiring locals who are PhDs and who, on the surface, become little GE clones (but may, or may not be, PLA / ErBu / etc on the side) is considered a victory. To them success will be the day when the PRC ops are the largest. No thought whatever has been given to appropiation by the state, or forced sale to a PRC company. Such risks do not exist in their universe. To theirs, and our, peril!
