“Providing we force them to use our manufacturing sites, I have no issue. No point exporting our manufacturing skills though, that would be a really big mistake! ”

Couldnt agree more.……though we probably will and it will be haled as a good thing by a select group of retards.

Byron,

Oh come on not the Neocons!! thing again. Neoconservative is sucha stupid word.

So what is so evil about neoconservatism?

Seems to use both elements of right and left. Seems to be the middle ground to me.

No point blocking export sales if we can! To be fair, the Chinese are never good at designing and building, so most of the design work will probably be done abroad too.

It’s a commercial aircraft, so all the important systems that are sensitive, in regards to defence, they aren’t included.

Providing we force them to use our manufacturing sites, I have no issue. No point exporting our manufacturing skills though, that would be a really big mistake!

For you neo-con. China watchers don’t get to excited about this, the aircraft being build is a 70–100 passenger business/regional commuter plane. Avic is basically assembling this aircraft, over 75% of the parts are imported (Russia, Canada, France, Brazil, Germany) and manufactured outside China, two thirds of the imported parts including the engines come from the United States.

This plane is not as of yet certified for international sales and most likely will be built in small numbers, 100–200 and serve on short haul domestic Chinese routs. It’s military value is negligible.

ALLONS,

yeahh and for this dangerous moment in China we should let them own the gras around the White House.
