China's First Large Domestic Airliner Challenges Boeing and Airbus.

China's state-owned aircraft manufacturer, COMAC, has developed the C919, a large passenger jet that looks similar to a Boeing 737, with 60% of its components resulting from deals with America's top aerospace companies. Critics argue that the C919 is not only a threat to the US economy and an effort to elbow Boeing out of the huge market in China, but also a chance for the Chinese military to benefit from access to American-made technology. National security experts point to a combination of economic pressure and espionage as the means by which China works to acquire American innovation.
