It's a fair point and simultaneously does a disservice to what China is very obviously about to accomplish with the C919.
There is every reason to anticipate China taking a big share of that industry away from Boeing and Airbus. They only need to buy their own supply (which they will) to do that.
Further, Japan is also very obviously about to successfully unleash the Mitsubishi SpaceJet.
It's like people that were still pointing out up to the last moments in May that the US had no human space launch capability, trying to wring that last bit of satisfaction from the context.
- wazoox 6y agoHere how I've been told the story of the C919 by people working at Airbus. Airbus wanted to sell planes to China. China said OK, but you must build a factory in Tianjin and assemble the planes there, with Chinese workers and engineers. So Airbus did that. They then built the factory for the C919 in Shanghai, and there went most of the people who previously worked at the Airbus factory. :)
