Never expected that the move by the United States would have such a big impact on us! On September 24, according to a report by Bloomberg in the United States, Bloomberg stated that due to the U.S. stopping the issuance of export licenses in July, China's domestic aircraft manufacturer, COMAC, has cut the delivery target of its flagship model C919 by two-thirds. U.S. media said that COMAC heavily relies on U.S. suppliers, with key avionics, flight control systems and engines all coming from U.S. companies.
Originally, COMAC had planned to deliver about 75 single-aisle aircraft this year, but it has now adjusted the target to only deliver 25. A source said that this indicates that almost all key links in the supply chain of this Chinese aircraft manufacturer are facing bottlenecks, which hinder its ability to produce aircraft stably. Obviously, if the information from the U.S. is true, we must admit that the U.S. regulatory measures have had a huge impact on us.
Certainly, there were previous reports that Russia was willing to provide commercial aircraft engines for us, which seems to also prove that our large aircraft manufacturing is indeed facing certain difficulties. In response to this situation, first, we should definitely use our own leverage to make the U.S. back down. Second, more importantly, we need to quickly complete the domestic replacement of key equipment, and completely solve the problem of being "strangled." The actions of the United States have fully demonstrated that the U.S. is not a reliable supplier, and we can only rely on ourselves now.
