China COMAC 919

[snne]

A piece of advice from long and painful experience with following Russian airliner international sales attempts (Il-96T, Tu-204-X20, SSJ100): Don't believe it until you see the aircraft in the livery. Never mind, don't believe it until actual entry into service...

I'm not saying that it is absolutely certain to happen but I can say from my experience that it usually tends to come true in China's case.

And I don't think there's a drop of relevance between how both countries' aviation companies manage their businesses.

Why would they buy Chinese when they have Embraer!

Why would they buy Chinese when they have Embraer!

Because Embraer so far has refused to go into the Boeing 737/Airbus A320-size niche, unlike COMAC.

But I don't give this much credence, for now. I wouldn't be too surprised if, 10 years from now, a Brazilian aircraft buys Chinese, though.

Will the China Cycle Come for Airbus and Boeing?​

Will the China Cycle Come for Airbus and Boeing?

Noah Smith, author of the economics Substack Noahpinion, often refers to a common trajectory in Chinese manufacturing as the “China Cycle”:

The China cycle, providing China does not build a piece of crap, knock-off aircraft made from stolen foreign tech like a number of other things (electric cars, locomotives/trains, jeeps, etc). I do have to say one thing which is amazing, I bought a $600, 40-watt per channel Chinese tube stereo amplifier which is probably one of the best pieces of moderately priced audio equipment I had ever purchased, the build and sound quality are excellent, go figure.
