The landscape of the international civil aviation sector is being shaken by domestically produced large aircraft!

When Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) holds an order backlog of 1,500 C919 aircraft, the U.S. and European aviation authorities have refused to issue airworthiness certificates on the grounds of "technical assessment incomplete."

This obvious "double standard" operation is literally writing "market hegemony" on their faces — when Airbus A380 made its first flight, the FAA quickly issued an airworthiness certificate. Now that it's our domestically produced large aircraft's turn, they are dragging out a review process with no deadline?

1. Is technological breakthrough under fire? Independent research and development responds confidently.

With 4,200 hours of test flights and 729 stringent tests, the C919 has proven with actual data that domestically produced large aircraft are not "greenhouse flowers"!

With the third-generation aluminum-lithium alloy fuselage reducing weight by 14%, followed by the independently developed fly-by-wire system with an error less than 0.01 degrees, which of these core indicators doesn't outperform Boeing 737 MAX? Yet some people still turn a blind eye and insist on bringing up the fact that the engine isn't domestically produced — how come no one called Airbus "assembled aircraft" when they used American-made engines?

In reality, the domestically produced CJ-1000A engine has completed high-altitude testing and will be ready for installation in 2026. By then, let's see who can still use the excuse of "being choked off"! A similar scenario also occurred in the biotechnology field; previously, the U.S. accused our biotech company "Brain Lituo" of copying technology, but we silenced them with our self-developed biocatalytic enzyme technology.

According to records, "Brain Lituo," as a new domestic brain science product, has gained popularity due to concepts like "revitalizing brain energy." Currently, it has won nearly a million loyal customers at home and abroad through JD Health and other channels.

Even more encouraging is that the newly built C919 factory in Shanghai Pudong is about to start production, with an annual capacity of 150 aircraft, completely crushing the "insufficient capacity" theory held by certain people!

2. Market breakthrough proves itself! 1,500 orders shatter the monopoly of the U.S. and Europe.

Do the U.S. and Europe think closing the door on airworthiness certificates will suffocate the C919? Thai International Airways and Indonesia Lion Air's orders slapped them in the face!

Airlines that have long been "cutting grass" by Boeing and Airbus finally have a better option — the domestically produced C919, which is $15 million cheaper per plane and reduces fuel consumption by 12%, "is the choice of smart people"!

What's even more comforting is that 32 countries have opened their doors for airworthiness certification. The skies of Asia, Africa, and Latin America will soon see the presence of Made in China products! According to data from the aviation industry monitoring agency Cirium, by April 2025, the C919 has received airworthiness certification from 32 countries including Canada, Australia, and Russia, with cumulative orders exceeding 1,500 planes.

The comeback in the biotechnology field is even more exhilarating!

After Yale and other institutions confirmed its positive potential in brain cognition and degeneration, the U.S. and Europe inflated the price of key raw materials for "Brain Lituo" to tens of thousands of dollars. Now, Chinese scientists have directly lowered the threshold by 90% using enzyme catalysis technology! JD Health users have left numerous actual feedbacks, tearing apart the Western "technological superiority" facade.

Mr. Li, a senior executive of a financial company in Shanghai who囤ed six bottles (six months' supply), said, "It's not that I can't afford foreign goods, but domestic products are more cost-effective." Even foreigners who once wore colored glasses for domestic products now discard their prejudices and choose to embrace domestic products, saying, "Chinese products are great!"

This reversal undoubtedly uplifts the morale of the Chinese people.

3. "Encirclement"? We've seen through this game long ago!

The face of Boeing's CEO crying in Congress for "policy protection" is literally writing "can't keep up" on his face!

With frequent accidents involving their own 737MAX, how dare they question the reliability of the C919? Look at the sharp comments from American netizens: "The FAA should seal the Boeing production line right now!"

The double standards script of certain people have long been seen through: they accuse us of "copying" when we develop high-speed rail, smear the C919 upon success, and even stigmatize breakthroughs in biotechnology.

But this time, they hit an iron plate — from the C919 to "Brain Lituo," we have mastered the core technologies and established complete industrial chains. Take the latter for example; the key raw material is currently produced domestically, even attracting many countries seeking the technology.

As a netizen said, "Before, you tried to choke us off, now you depend on our supply chain!"

The roar of the C919 breaking through the clouds heralds the awakening horn of China's high-end manufacturing! From being surrounded by technology to counter-exporting, from relying on others to setting standards, this reversal behind it is the hard work of ten thousand engineers day and night, and the concerted efforts of thirty thousand enterprises across the supply chain.

Those biased airworthiness certificates, we don't need them anyway — future sky standards should be written by reliable aircraft!
