I will give it few years to see the size and versatility of C919 project.
It is not shown in the the pics buts Japanese Toray and Teijin plays important role in supplying to B787 and these have plants in US.
Aerospace is very manpower intensive relative to revenue it generates. Aerospace is measurement of strength of demographics and wealth of society. B787 fully consolidate around South Carolina its impact is creating Jobs at rate of eight times over state avg with much more pay. This a state with one of the largest BMW plant in the world.

Selling my xiaomi shares. If they're still doing this after India stole their money, they're idiots.
Just like how Trump thought China would unconditionally surrender day one of his trade war, the US thought it can win in a game of chicken so they gambled on biting something more than the US could chew. And something they thought was so simple is ending up costing them something so unimaginable before... their entire status in the world is being upended
You'll find that american media/films/stories love to portray their heroes as winning big by bluffing; romanticising poker games and getting one over the baddies by bluffing. Each american fancies himself a Zhuge Liang when he enters political office...and will do anything, even burn the world down rather than admit their bluff was called and they were found wanting.

The U.S. just announced a new set of sanctions against COMAC for human rights violations

WTF happened to that Ferguson dude. He's become unhinged for a purported celebrated "historian."
Used to respect him alot for his work on financial history. However he has turned himself into a Trumptard and started spewing racist shit.

I have seeb him changing from a proponent of the unstoppable Chimerica global world to the angry white man he is today. It is like these Anglos have mass hysteria or something, once their peers start going anti China, they suddenly lose their common sense and purpoted freedom of thinking and end up becoming sheeple.

The 787 plant is in South Carolina because it is an at-will working state and to avoid the worker unions in Washington state.
The whole point is to pay workers crappy salaries. And the factory is known for its shoddy workmanship.

Salaries are fine relative to cost of living. There is no way BMW could expand on this scale without attracting quality labor. This BMW plant for premium vehicles like SUVs and M models where 60% production exported. Boeing started much later but its impact on salaries already visible.
