The future of the largest aviation joint venture between China and Russia is looking bleak because of intensifying disagreements between the two over how they share the profits and the possible involvement of Western companies.

The report stated that the operations involved both cyber intrusion and theft as well as HUMINT operations, in most cases using a piece of code custom written for this industrial espionage operation.

I worked in Aviation for many years. The company I worked for created a site in Bangalore. Yep, development work shifted over there.
Funny… Commies fussing about profits.
NO FOSSIL FUELS???
What will be the propellant???
Thank you for the full version.
“The Russians are unhappy because China wants to invite Western companies to take part in the US$50 billion project to develop a new passenger jet, . . .”

Lol, I got news for the Chinese and the Russians. There’s not a Chinaman’s chance in hell that I, or millions like me around the world, will voluntarily board an aircraft built by the Chinese and the Russians.
China’s big dam is about to break. The concrete in most of their high rise buildings is like powder which eventually cause the buildings to collapse. Airplane..???......NO !!!!
If cracks didn’t appear in russia & the CCP’s partnership, they sure as heck would appear in the engine turbine fan blades and airframe, sooner rather than later
