BEIJING (Reuters) -A scaled-down version of China’s biggest air show opened on Tuesday, with some delegates unable to attend because of the country’s zero-COVID policy as virus case numbers there reached their highest level in six months. The show’s organisers did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The zero-COVID policy comes amid a broader decoupling from the West in the aerospace industry as China aims for increased self-reliance and watches the effects of strict export sanctions placed on Russia’s aviation industry because of that country’s invasion of Ukraine. China Southern did not immediately respond to a request for comment. China is also showing off a FH-97A “Loyal Wingman” drone model designed to coordinate with crewed aircraft, the Global Times reported.

A display of VT5 light main battle tank is seen at the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, or Airshow China, in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, China September 29, 2021. REUTERS/Aly SongBEIJING/SYDNEY, Sept 27 (Reuters) - China will show off its homegrown civil and military aviation technology at the country's biggest air show in November, the mayor of host city Zhuhai said on Tuesday, though there was no confirmation that would include the C919 narrowbody jet. Western suppliers are behind some of the key technology in the C919, including the avionics and engines. Two C919 jets arrived in Beijing on Sept. 13, in a move widely viewed as preparation for certification by the aviation regulator on Sept. 19, a symbolic date given the model number. But that did not happen and the two jets remain parked in Beijing, according to flight tracking websites.

Президент США Дональд Трамп поручил федеральному правительству разработать меры, чтобы сократить закупки китайских товаров. В заявлении утверждается, что «Китай делает своей мишенью информационные системы правительства США ради [получения] персональных данных, военных планов и других данных при помощи киберпространства и других средств». «По этой причине США должны принять соответствующие меры для обеспечения безопасности американских интересов», — сообщил О'Брайен. На протяжении последнего года власти США не раз объявляли санкции в отношении китайских компаний, обвиняя их в связях с военно-промышленным комплексом Китая. На этой неделе в черный список внесли девять китайских компаний, включая авиастроительную компанию Comac и производителя мобильных телефонов Xiaomi.

Uniunea Europeană a anunţat luni că va impune tarife pentru importuri din Statele Unite în valoare de peste 4 miliarde de dolari, ca măsură de retorsiune faţă de subvenţiile acordate de SUA Boeing, dar a arătat că speră într-o îmbunătăţire a relaţiilor comerciale cu administraţia preşedintelui ales Joe Biden, transmite Reuters și news.ro. În urmă cu peste un an, Statele Unite au impus tarife pentru produse din Uniunea Europeană în valoare de peste 7,5 miliarde de dolari, după un caz paralel de la OMC, referitor la subvenţiile primite de constructorul de avioane Airbus. Principalul obiectiv al UE este să convingă Statele Unite să negocieze o soluţie, argumentând că principalii beneficiari ai conflictului sunt firme concurente, cum ar fi producătorul chinez de avioane comerciale COMAC.
