A commercial Aircraft Corp of China (Comac) C919 aircraft operated by China Eastern Airlines during the Singapore Airshow in Singapore, on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024. SINGAPORE — China's homegrown airliner may be the latest challenger to Airbus and Boeing's passenger jets, but an executive from Airbus said he's not worried. The Comac C919 is "not going to rock the boat in particular," Christian Scherer, chief executive officer of Airbus's aircraft commercial business, said at a media roundtable on the sidelines of the Singapore Airshow. "It looks a bit like an Airbus narrow body," Scherer said, tongue in cheek, noting that the C919 is "not very different" from what Airbus and Boeing already have in the market. Scherer acknowledged that the C919 was a "legitimate effort" by China — but "the market is large enough for competition, we welcome the competition."

The plane delivered to China Eastern has 164 seats and was painted with "the world's first C919" on its side in Chinese and English. China Eastern said on Friday it plans to receive the remaining four of its first batch of C919 orders over the next two years, according to Shanghai's The Paper. China is trying to raise the proportion of domestic parts in the C919 and an alternative engine called the CJ-1000A is under development.

China will show off its home-grown civil and military aviation technology at the air show, where 740 businesses are expected to take part both online and offline. The C919's presence was confirmed on the schedule on the organiser's official WeChat social media account.

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.

Administrația Biden extinde domeniul de acțiune al unui decret prezidențial al fostului președinte Donald Trump, prin care se interziceau investițiile americane în companii din China care sprijină armata chineză inclusiv prin vânzarea de tehnologie de urmărire, relatează The Washington Post, citează digi24.ro. Un decret al președintelui Biden, care va intra în vigoare de joi, urmează să lărgească domeniul de acțiune al interdicțiilor și va transfera autoritatea în acest caz laDepartamentul Trezoriei de la Departamentul Apărării. Prin această mutare, decretul va fi mai „stabil din punct de vedere legal”, spun oficiali din administrație. Oficiali ai guvernului SUA spun că mutarea la alt departament este importantă, în contextul în care compania chinezească Xiaomi a reușit să evite interdicția prin atacarea ei în justiție. Departamentul Trezoriei are mai multă experiență în redactarea de programe de sancțiuni „într-un fel care respectă standardele legale și juridice al Statelor Unite”, a spus un oficial din administrația americană.
