  Sure not directly maybe. But they could go after Boeing or Nike or Starbucks. But my sense is that the ccp likes their “Sputnik moment”.

      There are other ways to hit the US in their wallet, like allocating new sales to their EU rival. Let them fight each other. Its a more elegant way of putting diplomacy and economic heft at work. Also COMAC should deliver their first model to (domestic?)customers this year. Then you also have a joint venture with a Russian plane company.
