It's a typical case of greed favoring short-term profits at the expense of
long-term viability. The Chinese will take all the technology that they are
given, and then will start building their own aircraft, cutting Western
manufacturers out of the loop. Any Western aircraft manufacturer that fails
to realize this has to be incredibly stupid.


And increasing efficiency in production is bad because.....???? I
think your socialist upbringing (French, right?) has taught you that
the purpose of a company is to provide employement. Just wrong. I look
forward to the less expensive flights that will eventually come. My
biggest fear is that China does nothing, Airbus goes broke (losses
gov't backing) and Boeing will have no competition.
