I think this should not matter. The primary objective is safety.

  It should. I could see an embarrassed FAA opting to drop reciprocity to try and avoid looking (so) bad.

    That would make the FAA look bitter and petty in addition to incompetent, it would trumpet their embarrassment and make them look worse than they already do, not avoid it or hide it. But in the long term, agency politics aside, it would be better for all of us if these agencies did independent reviews.

  If safety matters, perhaps we should not trust the regulatory body of a country on approving the aircraft built by that country. The conflict of interest is highly possible.
