China's Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Efforts Face Hurdles

Despite spending around $12 billion on commercial aircraft development, China's efforts to rival international manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing have faced significant challenges. The Chinese method of top-down, state-owned development has struggled to adapt to the complexities of commercial aircraft manufacturing, which requires a high degree of integration of different technologies and systems.

While some experts are skeptical about China's chances of success, others believe that with continued investment and effort, China can eventually become a major player in the industry. The government's motivations for developing its own commercial aircraft capabilities include national pride, prestige, and independence from Western countries.
