They can do airframes but they are still far behind in avionics and engines. If the C919 ships in 2-3 years at all, it will be with CFM LEAP engines and America

They can do airframes but they are still far behind in avionics and engines. If the C919 ships in 2-3 years at all, it will be with CFM LEAP engines and American avionics. The problem for China is you cannot cut quality in aviation; there is no such thing as an affordable, lower quality product as there is in consumer products. We’re talking ca. 2030 for a competitive Chinese airliner.
