When China set a goal to
leap from being a tiny aerospace-industry player
to a direct threat to Airbus and Boeing, few
scoffed at the idea, given Beijing's track record
of using deep government pockets to push
state-owned firms up the ladder.
But as leaders of the global aerospace industry
gather in Beijing for an International Air
Transport Association meeting that kicks off on
Sunday, a closer examination by Reuters shows
that the potential challenge from China might be
greatly overblown, and that its aircraft sector is
unlikely to pose any credible competition for at
least a decade
