China will mit einem eigenen Passagierflugzeug Airbus und Boeing Konkurrenz machen. Die Maschine C919 wurde nun erstmals öffentlich vorgestellt. Mit dem Flieger sollen besonders in Asien Marktanteile erobert werden.
Just look at the failed (not literally, but certainly effectively) Manufacturing USA initiative - a constellation of research institutes first launched in 2012 to counter the Made In #China 2025 program.
To its credit, the #Obama Administration foresaw the Chinese economic threat to the West before most in Washington, but the actions taken were structurally ineffective.
Other "tangential failures" like acquiescing #A123 Systems (LFP battery foundational knowledge) and, in the case of the #German government, #Kuka, to #China-state controlled entities advanced the Made In China 2025 program by a decade or more virtually overnight.
Kuka's loss to China also substantially advanced the #Comac#C919 aircraft program - an open secret in many quarters of the Western #aerospace industry that the US and German governments do not want to admit.
