China's self-developed C919 large aircraft is close to mass production, and Airbus's second production line in Tianjin has also started construction. China's aviation industry faces many opportunities. On the one hand, China's demand for aircraft parts will grow significantly; On the other hand, Chinese companies are actively moving to neighboring countries to find suitable industrial chains. This has brought an opportunity to South Korea, that is, to replace European and American manufacturing enterprises with some mechanical parts to China.
Judging from the current situation, in the field of large aircraft, airlines and Airbus have already seized most of the market. However, since the completion of the first commercial aircraft of the Chinese C919, foreign airlines have begun to expand their business in China. The two largest manufacturers — Boeing and Airbus — expect Chinese-made aircraft to account for at least 20 percent of the world's aircraft deliveries over the next 20 years.
To tell the truth, China's aviation industry started late and has a thin foundation, and it has surprised many people to come to this point, especially South Korea, which is not too far away from China. Even South Korea has a "big airliner dream", but when China is the first to fulfill this dream, it may make the South Korean side feel quite dissatisfied. However, from the development of the C919 to the successful test flight of the ARJ21, China's space industry has made great progress. Koreans must accept this fact, so Koreans also want to get a share of this irresistible historical trend.
The domestic airline ARJ21 was officially delivered to foreign airlines).
And in retrospect, it makes people sigh. South Korea, a country that was once confident in the manufacturing industry, has recently encountered a real "big airliner dream" in aircraft manufacturing. South Korea has 10,000-ton ships, oversized ro-ro ships and LNG ships. In the field of aviation industry, although fifth-generation aircraft are often accused of being "bulk" and their performance has not yet been verified, a large number of light and heavy fighters are still manufactured. But in recent years, airlines seem to have come to a standstill.
In fact, on a technological level, it is not easier to build a large aircraft than to build a ship or a fighter. This involves cross-application in multiple high-tech fields such as materials science, aerodynamics, electronics, etc.
Even China has to import some composite materials, wing parts, and even engines from abroad. On the Korean side, a large number of fragments have been collected, and only the most critical parts are missing, so the map looks incomplete, as if something is missing.
However, South Korea still has advantages in some aspects, so China's production line must be moved to neighboring countries in order for South Korea to play its greatest role.

The South Korean side pointed out that South Korea itself has a greater competitive advantage, that is, Korean manufacturing enterprises are relatively concentrated, the processing and process of parts can be completed at one time, and enterprises can meet the requirements of Chinese consumers through cooperation. We are just joking, saying that South Korea has a small land area and a high degree of industrialization.
South Korea believes that they can supply Chinese companies with parts such as composite materials, sheet metal parts and aluminum alloy bodies. In addition, South Korea is relatively far away, so there are few uncertainties and no high shipping costs.
Of course, this is not bad news for China, because like the aviation industry, which is highly technologically advanced and almost impossible to avoid global integration, it is almost impossible to do it entirely on its own. Many important parts, such as engines and electronic systems, are manufactured by large foreign companies.
Of course, there are also benefits to this, such as cost control and technological innovation, as well as working with many of the world's top manufacturers, so that they can integrate the latest technology into their products, thus ensuring a competitive advantage for their products in the market.

However, objectively speaking, there are also some dangers in such a high level of economic integration, including the rupture of the ** chain, the impact of political and ** disputes, the fluctuation of currencies and so on. Not to mention the danger of a huge blow to the world's ** chain in this crisis.
Therefore, the cooperation between China and South Korea is not exactly as the South Korean side said, and even if the risks of transportation and other aspects are excluded, there are huge uncertainties. Because South Korea's economic and trade relations with China have been seriously affected by US policies, and after the outbreak of the Sino-US war, South Korea has followed the United States, which is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for China.
From our own point of view, there are two directions of development for our aircraft, one is European and American, and the other is domestic. South Korea wants to replace Europe and the United States, but with previous experience, we must have our own voice. In addition, we also have our own considerations when we choose parts from European and American countries, such as applying for a flight permit from Europe and the United States. Getting this certificate shows that the country has confirmed the safety of this aircraft, so it will let the domestic passenger plane go to Europe and the United States for test flights.
Generally speaking, the economic and trade relations between China and South Korea have been very good, and China and South Korea have achieved a surplus of $18 billion for the first time in the past 31 years, which is the first time in the 31 years of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. However, South Korea needs more consideration if it wants to take advantage of China's development opportunities and enjoy the benefits of this round. If Europe and the United States hear that South Korea is going to cut off their economy**, it is likely to deal a heavy blow to South Korea.
