The South China Morning Post gave a detailed report on the flight of China's large passenger plane C919 in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, which attracted a lot of attention.
Hong Kong netizens: It's amazing, there is a large Chinese passenger plane hovering over Hong Kong. 】
This model is China's first large passenger aircraft with independent intellectual property rights, which is an important breakthrough in the development of China's civil aviation large passenger aircraft, breaking the monopoly of European and American large passenger aircraft in the Chinese market.
But no one knows that the C919 still uses Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' LEAP-X1C engine. This company is a US-France joint venture, and the United States has a lot of influence on this company.
Our C919 has been developed, and the United States has begun to be anxious, and it is said that the US Department of Commerce intends to use this as China's trump card to obtain orders from China.

If we can't reach an agreement, the American company will most likely turn off the engine remotely, but what the United States did not expect is that China has long since "changed lanes and overtaken".
The United States is dependent on the Chinese market.
And why the United States has such a big move goes back 18 years. China has made considerable achievements in the economic and trade fields, and many technologies have completely independent intellectual property rights.
The United States feels that China has put tremendous pressure on China and is trying to set up all kinds of obstacles to contain China's development. In 2018, the U.S. Congress voted overwhelmingly to approve a bill to limit Trump's tariffs.
Trump: China! 】
The move was intended to correct Obama's mistaken decision to tariff $34 billion of Chinese products by 25 percent in an effort to ease the economic and trade conflict between China and the United States. However, the matter did not end there, and when the other side unjustifiably raised import taxes, China immediately responded accordingly.
Subsequently, the economic and trade friction between China and the United States escalated, and finally spread to all sides, causing the relationship between the two countries to become increasingly strained. The loss of some markets in China has made it impossible for American goods to be effectively absorbed, thus exacerbating the economic woes of the United States and making it difficult for many companies to operate.
Boeing in the United States, in particular, has not placed orders from this company in China for six consecutive years from 2018 to 2022.

Let's not forget that China has been China's largest customer until now, and it was only in April this year that the company delivered its 737 to China. If the ** of a 737 is 100 million US dollars, then its ** total alone will not be less than 900 billion US dollars.
The C919 engine became a trump card in the US negotiations.
Boeing, under the long-term economic and trade exchanges between China and the United States, has become extremely dependent on the Chinese market, but this is not the most important thing, because a sudden ** conflict completely destroyed the original commercial ties.
Now China is developing its own large passenger aircraft, which means that in the future, it will be difficult for Boeing to enjoy the Chinese market. Under the influence of the global financial crisis, Boeing, which was already stretched thin, made matters worse.
Therefore, the United States, out of consideration for protecting its own companies, wants the Chinese to purchase Boeing's things as soon as possible. On the one hand, the economic and trade frictions between China and the United States have not stopped, and they are still constantly testing and competing with each other.
And the Americans brazenly want us to buy their things, which inevitably gives people a sense of unreasonableness. In response, the United States can take a very tough approach, and they can completely use the remote shutdown engine as an unequal deal with China.
There is nothing wrong with China's way of development, and after years of exploration, we have gradually established a new way of exchanging the market for technology. If they really want to occupy the Chinese market, they have to hand over some of their own technology, which is an equal deal and a mutually beneficial deal.
However, this is not absolutely good for China, once foreign aircraft manufacturers enter China, it will inevitably squeeze the development of domestic companies, which is a situation of both opportunities and challenges for China.
The same is true for foreign-funded companies, if they want to occupy a place in the Chinese market, it is up to them. How is it different from robbery today when American companies are "holding back" in China because of the onslaught of Chinese technology, but instead demand more from China?
China changes lanes.
It is also not impossible for us to deal with the Americans.
Aviation manufacturing line].
China has always taken the path of independent development, and although it bought some passenger planes from the United States a long time ago, it has managed to develop its own aviation industry. The development of civil aviation is not an overnight achievement, especially for a large country with a weak foundation like China.
But fortunately, China's foundation is still very solid, only two things are missing, one is the market, and the other is talent.
China still has huge potential in this market, and it is reported that China will demand at least 8,000 or more large passenger aircraft in the future. This is why the United States pays so much attention to China.
With such a big piece of cake, Feng Yu will never give up, and the only thing he can do is to speed up the development of the country.
Besides, China's market is huge, but the foreign market is much bigger, so we have to look further and look overseas.
China's aviation industry, even if it is not as strong as Boeing and Airbus, the United States will not casually put pressure on China's aviation industry.
In terms of human resources, China is actively cultivating various types of aircraft pilots, production line technicians, scientific researchers, etc.
Talent is the foundation of the industry, but also the source of development, with the talent system, why worry about the aircraft engine problems? ——Made in China. Whether it is in terms of human resources, China has a huge say at this time, and in this field, we can say more and we can say more.
In addition, in the joint ventures of the CFM Group, French companies still have a lot of influence, and coupled with the relationship between China and France, they may not be like the United States, in terms of engine sanctions against China.
The United States said that it would turn off the engine of the C919, but it was just a "mouth cannon".
