Delivery of China-made plane C919 delayed repeatedly; The lifeblood of aviation is in the hands of the USA

(21 Sep) In the past few years, China has invested fully in the manufacture of the domestically-made large passenger aircraft C919. At present, there are 28 domestic and overseas users, and the total number of global orders has reached 815. Some Chinese experts claimed that they could fight against the US and European aircraft manufacturers. However, as the delivery date of passenger aircraft has been delayed again and again, the outside world has begun to doubt whether China's aircraft dream will follow Huawei's footsteps under the general trend of US sanctions.

//he estimated that it might not be delivered successfully until 2022.

//The key technologies of the
C919 airliner completely rely on American technology

//China is mainly responsible for the design of the fuselage, wings, tail and interior.

//"it does not make much sense to build an aluminum tube with a flag painted on the tail."

//China's dependence on the West for aircraft components and assembly is even stronger than Huawei's dependence on the West. With China's strategic development route in recent years and tensions between the United States and China, the United States is likely to impose sanctions on China's aviation industry in the future.

//it will take at least 10 to 20 years for China to join the rank of major aviation powers.
