Default Airbus to set up China plant

That's one of the problems with a purely capitalist society. Large
corporations owned by large numbers of anonymous shareholders are somewhat of
a pox on society today in many cases, as they have only profit as a priority,
and have no other considerations or corporate conscience at all.


What's worse, is the enormous lobbying power large corporations are
able to wield in influencing law making. The government of, for, and
by the people has become a government of, for, and by heartless,
bottom-line driven, corporate avarice.

The people must take back their government by outlawing corporate
influence in government affairs, and limiting the interest of
government to that which most benefits the people, the environment,
and the _future_ of the nation.

Easy for me to say, eh?

And theoretically easy to do. But that's not the way that democracies
normally evolve.

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.


Maybe you should tell them how stupid they're being. Perhaps they'll
listen to an expert like you.

Airbus to set up China plant

Getting a strong foothold in China's vast market could be
strategically important for Airbus in the long term. Rival Boeing
Co. of Chicago says China will require about 2,880 new jetliners,
with a catalog value of $280 billion, by 2025.

China renews airliner manufacturing plan

BEIJING - Almost 30 years after China's first attempt to build a
large airliner was scrapped, the government has announced that the
project will be resumed in its new 2006-10 five-year plan in hopes
of realizing the Chinese aircraft industry's longtime dream to
meet the country's growing demand for air travel.


So it appears that Aribus will train the workforce for their
competition. How cleaver. :-(



CHINA RELEASES IMAGES OF FUTURE "JUMBO" JET

If the images portrayed by China's Xinhua news agency
(http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/20...nt_5943906.htm) are
accurate, China's jetliner for the 21st century looks suspiciously
like a Russian military transport from the 1970s. The high-wing,
high-tailed creation, with its multiple banks of landing gear trucks
clustered under the fuselage, looks like the big Antonovs that still
toil as chartered military cargo aircraft. It looks nothing like the
sleek shape of the Boeing 787 that many consider the technology driver
of the next generation of commercial airliners. Still, China seems
pretty excited about its chances in the world market. "China's jumbo
aircraft will initially target the domestic market. But the ultimate
aim is to compete with Boeing and Airbus on the international market,"
said Jin Qiansheng, deputy director of the administrative committee of
Xi'an Yanliang State Aviation High-tech Industry Base.
