The United States has been looking for evidence of China's support for Russia, but has never found it. Because China adheres to neutrality and advocates a peaceful settlement of the "Russia-Ukraine conflict". The United States could not grasp China's pigtails, so it began to spread rumors that China supplied ** to Russia, and even threatened to destroy China's aviation industry.
However, China is no longer the weak country of the past, and the delusions of the United States are impossible to realize. China has long been ready for the development of the aviation industry.
What means does the United States have if it wants to "lock its throat" with China's aviation industry?We know that the aviation industry is an area of strength for the United States and the West, and they have advanced technology at their disposal. China's aviation technology was indeed backward in the past, and it was very difficult to develop the civil aviation industry and reach the international level under the blockade of the United States and the West.
For example, although China's self-developed civil aircraft C919 is China's technology, its parts are not all domestic. Because China's aviation industry still has a lot of immaturity, about 90% of the parts of C919 were originally imported from abroad.
However, now the localization rate of C919 has reached 60%, which shows that China's aviation industry is developing rapidly, and the product performance is also very good.
The United States and the West have always wanted to prevent the success of the C919, because it means that China has made a major breakthrough in the field of aviation. C919 is just the beginning, in the future, China will have more domestic large aircraft, breaking the aviation monopoly of the United States and the West, and competing with them in the market. This is unacceptable to the United States and the West, because they will lose their advantage.
Therefore, the United States has always wanted to "stumble" China on key components. For example, the engine of the C919 is still the LEAP-X1C engine, a joint venture between the United States and France. The United States wants to stop supplying engines to China, believing that without engines, Chinese planes cannot fly.
In addition, the United States also wants to use the "European and American airworthiness certificates" to "lock the throat" of China, believing that without this certificate, China's planes will not be able to fly out of the country and will not be able to get overseas orders.
However, the United States overestimates itself too much, and China has responded from the beginning, otherwise, it is impossible to increase the domestic production rate of C919 from 10% to 60%.
So, how did China deal with the "chokehold" of American aviation?First of all, China already has its own large aircraft engines. As the core component of the aircraft, China has been developing its own domestic engines and does not rely on the United States. Although the C919 still uses the imported LEAP-X1C engine, China's "Yangtze River 1000" engine is ready, and the performance is no worse than the LEAP-X1C engine.
If one day, the United States and the West no longer sell engines to China, China will not be afraid, because China's domestic engines can be replaced immediately. Moreover, in the future, China's domestic large aircraft will gradually achieve 100% localization, especially the engine, which will be completely domestic and achieve "de-Westernization". At that time, the engines of the United States and the West will be able to keep them for themselves.
Secondly, without the "European and American airworthiness certificate", China's domestic civil aircraft can also fly abroad. Although the "European and American airworthiness certificate" is internationally recognized, it is not the only one. China also has its own airworthiness certificates, and the standards are strict. Although some countries do not recognize China's airworthiness certificate, there are also many countries that do, such as Russia, Middle Eastern countries, Asia, South America and other countries.
Therefore, China's C919 can fly out of the country and sell it without worry, and the United States wants to use this to "lock the throat" of China's aviation industry development, which is a pipe dream.
Also, in addition to the C919, there is also the Sino-Russian cooperation of the large civil aircraft CR929, this project was stalled, and now it has been restarted, Russia has begun to develop engines, and has already built wings.
This is also a threat to the United States and the West, because the joint development of the civil aviation industry between China and Russia means that their monopoly position is no longer guaranteed, so they are unhappy when they see that China's aviation industry is developing so well, and they want to obstruct China's development.
However, in the short term, China still cannot completely surpass the aviation strength of the United States and the West, but it is impossible for them to "destroy" China's aviation industry and hit China.
Moreover, with the development of China's aviation industry, the United States and the West are actually asking for their own hardships, because China has the world's largest civil aviation transport market, and even if China completely breaks the aviation monopoly of the United States and the West in the future, China will not use all domestic aircraft.
However, if the United States and the West keep "looking for trouble" and abandon the Chinese market, they will lose a lot, so if the United States and the West understand the current situation and choose to cooperate with China in friendship, they can achieve a win-win situation.
