"If you can't sit at the table, you have to become a menu", for a long time in the past, this is a realistic portrayal of China in the field of large aircraft. During this period, there was even an embarrassing scene of "exporting 800 million shirts in order to exchange for a Boeing plane".
Boeing engineers have also boasted that 25% of the wages of employees in the Boeing 737 workshop come from Chinese mainland. However, in the past 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, with the successful commercial carrying of the first domestic C919, the "monopoly dream" belonging to Europe and the United States has completely come to naught.
In the face of the "breakthrough" of the domestic C919, although the Boeing CEO responded quite qualifiedly, "welcome the three-legged large aircraft market", the bitterness revealed at the corner of his mouth was finally captured by the outside world. After leaving the spotlight, the helmsman of the aircraft giant changed his face in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, Raimondo, a close friend of Boeing, made an inopportune move, "If you continue to discriminate against Boeing, you will cut off the supply of C919 engines", which confirmed the speculation of the outside world. However, Boeing's combination punch did not scare the domestic C919 large aircraft to continue to soar.
At the beginning of the year, the C919 flew to Hong Kong for the first time, causing an unprecedented sensation in the famous Victoria Harbour, and many patriotic residents said, "We see the C919 soaring over Victoria Harbour, but what we remember is made in China." At the same time, the "good performance" of domestic C919 large aircraft to win 1,200 orders worldwide has also begun to spread.
Perhaps many people have no idea about 1,200 aircraft, for example, this number is equal to the combined annual orders of the two giants Boeing and Airbus. Obviously, this news has a big impact on Boeing, after all, since many accidents such as Malaysia Airlines, the 737 series aircraft have become synonymous with "fatal flights".
Affected by this, hundreds of Boeing 737 aircraft can only lie in the warehouse to eat dust, and most of them are orders that mainland customers are unwilling to receive. In order to sell the Boeing 737 back to the mainland again, shortly after the first flight of the C919 in Hong Kong, the CEO of Boeing finally lowered his head and even made a rare announcement to start the Zhoushan factory again.
As everyone knows, because of the first-class war on the other side of the ocean, as early as five years ago, Boeing had closed the Zhoushan factory. However, in addition to giving airworthiness certificates, these "small favors" are no longer enough to impress the mainland, and even we took the opportunity to play another good card.
In February this year, the C919 aircraft finally flew out of the country and successfully arrived in Singapore, the first developed country. Unlike Europe and the United States in the airworthiness certificate for us "stuck neck", but the mainland airworthiness certificate has a considerable recognition in Southeast Asia, so C919 large aircraft travel Southeast Asia is not a problem at all.
With the C919 big aircraft causing huge buzz in Singapore, giant Boeing is starting to get really nervous for the first time. In response, Dave Schulte, managing director of commercial marketing for Boeing Asia Pacific, said that the C919 is an aircraft that continues to be competitive, and "we will start competing with it".

The Yangtze River 2000 domestic engine has made a key breakthrough, and the performance in the test is comparable to that of the imported LEAP-1C, and even some of the technologies are even better. It is undeniable that this is the real "bad news" for Raimondo and Boeing.
With the arrival of the C919 in Singapore for the first time, it is clear that we have stepped out of the "menu" and officially have a place at the international table. And these are not things that celebrities who can make a lot of money by relying on ** 100 catties can do it, what do you think about this?
