    Boeing and Airbus are no strangers to taking risks. After all, designing a new plane is an inherently risky endeavor. Doing so can cost tens of billions of dollars, and there’s no guarantee you’ll recoup that investment.
    But recently, the two companies have taken a risk so great that it could jeopardize their business. Both have opened production facilities in China, and in doing so, they could be placing trade secrets in the hands of a hostile actor. Everyone knows that China wants to challenge the Boeing - Airbus duopoly, and now, they have a front-row seat to how these companies actually build their planes. So, why is this happening? Why did Boeing and Airbus open up production in China, and will doing so hurt their market dominance? Let me explain…

    The US aerospace company develops the systems and components for C919. My team have been working on this plane for years and those parts may have some of the commonality to Airbus and Boeing however C919 also have the unique sub systems. Believe it or not the commonalities between the plane is about 10% between the direct competitor models. 99.99% of the people rarely understand that recycle components from one plane to another May ended up costing more than developed new.

      I don't believe that the company would give the customer less or more because of the Chinese vs Western customers. 1C engine has less thrust may be due to different requirements in the region where it will be operating the most. If there is a certain variable such as fuel quality, environmental pollution, and FOD susceptibility, are known then the engine maker will have to decrease the performance so that the flight hour reliability promise is met. The engines are the most expensive subsystem as well as flight safety so they cannot fail during flight.

    I think it’s crucial to remember that Airbus and Boeing are producing/furnishing the A320 and 737 in China, especially because the short-hall market is dominant and key to Chinese aviation. Both of these aircraft have been updated but are older and built upon established technologies and production techniques, so despite the spying concerns neither Airbus or Boeing are giving away their big secrets about their new long haul jets like the A350/787, and as you said Coby, Comac still have a very long way to go to produce high quality planes consistently

    The payoff matrix was pretty silly and not really applicable to this situation in my opinion. You’re assuming a simultaneous game which really doesn’t make sense here unless you posit that Boeing/Airbus would build a factory in China in complete secrecy and only announce it once completed. More realistically Boeing/Airbus would know the other party is building a facility in China and respond in kind. This is a lot different of a scenario than a simultaneous, one-shot game like what you describe. It’s more of an iterative game spaced out over a long time.

    Strange that you haven't mentioned the case COMAC ARJ21, an aircraft with, shall we say, striking resemblance to MD-80/MD-90 which were produced _under the license_ (that is, with full design transfer, but nor necessarily production knowledge transfer) in China. Despite of having the all details of these aircraft design at their disposal, it took 14 years from the start of ARJ21 design work to entry into service (8 years after its first flight). It takes more than "paper knowledge" to build efficiently such a complex product.

      Bombardier Inc had planned to develop a mid-size passenger jet, called the C Series, aimed at competing with Boeing and Airbus. The program began in 2004 with an investment of more than $5 billion, but the project suffered multiple delays and cost overruns due to technical and financial problems, leading the company into financial trouble. In 2015, Bombardier signed a C $1.3 billion agreement with the Quebec provincial and federal governments, receiving financial assistance from the government to support the project.
      In 2017, the C Series development completed the acquisition of a large number of US airline orders, Boeing filed an anti-dumping complaint against Bombardier, accusing the C Series program of improper government subsidies, resulting in a major blow to the program. In January 2018, the US Department of Commerce announced the imposition of anti-dumping duties of up to 292% on the C Series project, because the profit margin of Bombardier C Series project itself is not high, the price after sanctions can not recover the huge order before, the US government's anti-dumping sanctions and Bombardier company can not obtain profits
      When the CSeries was in crisis, Bombardier even wanted to move production to low-cost regions and discussed cooperation with ComAC and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation
      In 2018, under pressure from the U.S. and Canadian governments, Bombardier continued to sell shares, but it was difficult to sustain, and finally, unable to obtain cash flow, Bombardier sold the C Series project to Airbus Canada Limited Partnership, a unit of Europe's Airbus, for 1 Canadian dollar. The C Series was renamed the A220. Airbus has a factory in Tianjin, China, which mainly produces parts and assembly work for the A320 family of passenger aircraft, as well as parts for the A220. The plant began production of A220 components in 2017 and is now an important part of the A220 supply chain.

      "Anyone can reverse engineer a plane with the right knowledge and access to a plane that they want to copy" That's not how it works. Most of what goes into making an airliner isn't something you can just examine. For example, by what process was the metal for a bearing heat treated in order to have the necessary hardness? What sort of vacuum process, applied how many times, was needed to make a fan hub impervious to fatigue cracks? There are many thousands more things like that involved in producing an airliner which aren't revealed by examining a sample.

      Naiive comment. If people all over the world, resort to lying and smearing almost daily, as obviously evident in the media, you can expect that it is the case in commercial business competitive environment. Whatever a more advanced nation accuses a less advanced nation, you know that it is like the saying:
      "a lady who blushes obviously knows so much to blush about."
      ps. I am not a sexist, but just how the saying goes. In future, perhaps to avoid being accused for misogyny, the saying ought to be worded: "the accuser is often using "projection" as the basis for the suspicion." BTW, I am not trying to troll Ed Snowdon, nor Angela Merkel.

    the plane is already flying with passengers. It's funny that while they criticize that the plane is not built in China because 60% of its components are manufactured outside China, they criticize the plane for being Chinese and not being reliable. I think that after the 737 I would rather fly a c919 than a 737, especially when I know that boeing knew that the new system would cause problems if the pilots were not informed of the changes made to the new variant and that could lead to accidents and preferred to continue just to keep the profit margin. The Leon Air flight the pilots didn't know what to do because the plane didn't respond the way they were used to. Hundreds of people killed just for profit

    It will not affect Boeing and Airbus too bad. The planes that may get reverse-engineered there are the A320 family (which the lower variants will get cannibalized by the A220 family), and the 737 family (which is expected to get replaced by a clean sheet after MAX). But if they were to build newer families like A350, A220, 777, and 787, then that would be a concern.

      "never shared openly with developing countries and people-in-need" ... except that's not how history actually happened. In the early 1980s the USA Reagan administration's desire to reduce the hefty US trade deficit resulted in US companies such as McDonnell Douglas being encouraged to open factories in China for things like airliner final assembly. China was picking up a lot of know-how from those arrangements, though not enough to become competitive in such a highly-specialized industry.
      "Now with China in the lead, such technologies and collaborations help world towards a shared and prosperous future" In the decades since, China has done little to close that gap -- the C919 is perhaps competitve with airliners the West was producing in the 1990s? Hard to be more precise with only basic specs to work from, and no reliability data (since none even existed before today's first revenue flight). But "in the lead" is nothing more than CCP propaganda. They are still a few decades behind, despite so much of the new aircraft consisting of Western systems.

    COMAC can make plane bodies at a lower cost for China at the moment. Makes a lot of sense to co-operate. Well, C919 is merely a Boeing737/Airbus 320 copy. Once they can dominate domestically, the market for this narrow body plane, they can move on to make 777 or 787 copies in the future. One day, not long in the future, COMAC will market C919 to the rest of Asia as a viable alternatives to Boeing 737 or Airbus 320.

    I see it as minimal risk for IP. Most things on a plane can be reverse engineered once the product is physically delivered. Pros heavily outweigh this possible con.
    The bigger risk is that the government can just take anything that's inside the boarders if they desire. Automakers know this from experience, not necessarily with the PRC, but other countries with no limits on government power over the economy for sure - see the GM plant in Venezuela. As long as the economy remains relatively stable though, the CCP is not likely to do this.

    Not stealing but competing, whether the facility build in China or not they could always reverse engineer based on the acquisition of the existing product, but that's not the case here China has plenty experience of building plane from the military jet equipment itself and they are cooperate with commercial manufacturer airline with Russia, so therefore whether or not they are buying engines and other material parts from the West they can always get some of these parts from Russia if need be.

    Sure, Boeing and Airbus are making a mistake manufacturing in China, for exactly the reason you stated, they don't want to lose market share there, but risking losing their IP. But they also can make cheaper planes there that can be sent to other places outside of China (maybe not to the US), so it's not exactly a bad strategy. As for whether I'd fly on a Comac plane? Sure why not? It can't be any less safe than a 737 Max, we found out how badly the FAA screwed up their scrutiny of Boeing during those dark days. A better question to ask is whether you trust that the 737 Max is actually being better monitored now than it was before? So would you fly on a Max yet?

Most companies have been practicing that except Tesla. That is one of the points which triggered the trade war between US and China. One of the main reason westerners pick China is due to Chinese infrastructure build efficiency. Took Tesla 168 days to build Shanghai mega factory vs 300 days of German mega factory.

    As for hopping on a COMAC jet, I would without hesitation. It's surely safer than general aviation aircraft, and would hop right on one of those planes without hesitation as well. Has nothing to do with my safety impression though, that's just how I am. Biggest concern would be hull integrity for depressurization and related loss of control. Less of an issue is software bugs, as even Boeing has shown they are capable of making "mistakes" on this front.

And recently in Feb 2024, the door panel on an Alaska Airlines flight 1282 Boeing 737 Max fell off midair had no bolts installed on the door plug. This is to shows that Boeing has many different safely issues on most of their Boeing commerical jetliners. Beside Airbus, isn't that good for another option which is the Comac aircraft C919 and C929 commerical jetliner in competition, its fair game for everybody. Frankly, my family and i are now trying to avoid flying in a Boeing plane if possible, we don't mind it another Airline company as long it an Airbus plane and 🤞 hopefully, pretty soon we can get to fly in one of the Comac C919 and C929 jetliner.

    I actually do not think that it is necessary to assemble airplanes in China when there are viable alternatives in places such as Mexico and India where the cost of Labor is lower. The manufacturing sector in China is also expected to shrink because the population is aging and people are retiring and many young people, especially the ones with college degrees, do not want to work in factories. The age of the average Chinese person is 38 years of age to while the age of the average Indian is 28 years of age. This difference suggests that India's population will grow and China's will shrink. India is already currently able to provide more labor support and at a lower cost. It has more people of working age. I'm also pretty sure that China lies about their total population. Their population had actually been shrinking for 20 years and their government is not going to tell you about the hundreds of millions of people whose lives were lost during COVID-19. Some experts estimate that China's real population is only between 800 million and 1 billion.The Chinese economy is simply not as mighty as the Chinese government makes it out to be. In reality, India had been the more viable option for many years now. Apple is already trying to leave China and I think Airbus and Boeing should follow suit.

    Airbus and Boeing seem to have bigger planes and also support big rooms for a good price like the arab fly companies.... you get big tv with a bed and good meals...

    As an Asian I will always try to buy Asian products and I will gladly fly on a Chinese plane. Look at the 400 odd people that died in American 737 Max? Dont American planes crash?
