Delivery of China-made plane C919 delayed repeatedly; The lifeblood of aviation is in the hands of the USA

(21 Sep) In the past few years, China has invested fully in the manufacture of the domestically-made large passenger aircraft C919. At present, there are 28 domestic and overseas users, and the total number of global orders has reached 815. Some Chinese experts claimed that they could fight against the US and European aircraft manufacturers. However, as the delivery date of passenger aircraft has been delayed again and again, the outside world has begun to doubt whether China's aircraft dream will follow Huawei's footsteps under the general trend of US sanctions.

//he estimated that it might not be delivered successfully until 2022.

//The key technologies of the C919 airliner completely rely on American technology

//China is mainly responsible for the design of the fuselage, wings, tail and interior.

//"it does not make much sense to build an aluminum tube with a flag painted on the tail."

//China's dependence on the West for
aircraft components and assembly is even stronger than Huawei's dependence on the West. With China's strategic development route in recent years and tensions between the United States and China, the United States is likely to impose sanctions on China's aviation industry in the future.

//it will take at least 10 to 20 years for China to join the rank of major aviation powers.

PLA Fighter Aircrafts Make 8 Incursions into Taiwan's ADIZ, the 32nd Time Since Mid-September According to Taiwan Ministry of National Defense

PLA aircraft keep entering Taiwan's airspace in recent months, with eight PLA second military aircraft re-entering Taiwan's Southwest Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) today (2 November). It was the third-largest operation since mid-September. Taiwanese Authorities used radio to drive the planes away.

According to Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense, the PLA dispatched eight sorties to Taiwan Southwest ADIZ near the Dongsha Islands (also known as Pratas Islands) in the South China Sea, flying close to the west of the eastern front, on 2 November (today). The operation consisted of five aircraft types including one Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, one Y-8 tactical reconnaissance aircraft, two Su-30 jets, two J-16 fighters, and two J-10 jets. The Taiwan air force used radio to drive the planes away and used air defence missile systems to track their movement. This operation of PLA is the 32nd times since 16 September and the third-largest.

According to the record of the FB page "SouthwestAirspaceofTW", PLA military aircraft started entering Taiwan's airspace in the early hours of this morning, flying at altitudes of 3,500 to 7,000 meters, with the Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft reaching 3,500 meters at one point. From 5:59 a.m., the Taiwan fighter issued radio warnings to the PLA aircraft for seven times, and ask them to "Turn around and leave immediately". In October, Chinese military aircraft flew into Taiwan's airspace for at least 25 days, five times more than in July, and the Taiwan air force made more than 84 warning broadcasts to banish Chinese military aircraft in October.

According to the report from “Liberty Times”, Taiwan Air Force fighter planes also took off to monitor the situation.  
 
Less than a week after US President Biden took office, China has dispatched 28 military aircraft to interfere with Taiwan’s southwest airspace on the 23rd and 24th for two consecutive days. The aircraft types are mainly fighters, bombers, and other combat aircraft. Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence dispatched air patrol troops to respond, broadcast the drive away, and used air defence missiles to track and monitor.

Taiwan angered by Chinese air force's largest ever incursion

Taiwan sharply criticised China on Saturday after Beijing marked the founding of the People's Republic of China with the largest ever incursion by the Chinese air force into the island's air defence zone.

Taiwan, a democratically governed island that is claimed by China, has complained for more than a year of repeated missions near it by China's air force, often in the southwestern part of its air defence zone close to the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands.

Taiwanese fighters scrambled against 38 Chinese aircraft in two waves on Friday, the Taiwan Defence Ministry said. It said Taiwan sent combat aircraft to warn away the Chinese aircraft, while missile systems were deployed to monitor them.
