You can go to this FAA Link and view "Records of Accidents and Incidents. Takes a bit to learn to interpret the data but there are a lot of incidents. If I recall it includes both commercial and general aviation.
We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you've tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.
Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can't fly in the US or Europe.
There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China's material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn't. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

Oh boy I just turned into one of those "well actually" guys. I wasn't trying to prove anything wrong. It got me interested in the 1906 eclipse and when I started looking into it things didn't quite line up. This post spurred my curiosity!
I actually think the year is wrong? I found this image of the August 30, 1905 eclipse path which would have been seen over Egypt. There was an eclipse on August 20, 1906 but no where near Egypt.
Giant ape grabs girl, girl screams at ape, ape climbs Empire State Building, biplanes shoot at ape, ape puts down girl, ape falls to his death, girl cries over dead ape. I've seen it a thousand times, Smitty, and it doesn't get any easier.
