Quote:

The deal "marks the first foray into the integration and supply of such
control equipment by GE Aviation Systems

"'Given GE and Smiths’ lack of expertise with a project like this, it’s a
very big risk, especially for the Chinese,' said Richard Aboulafia, an
analyst at Fairfax, Virginia-based Teal Group


My comment:
(a) Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd. (COMAC) 中国商用飞机有限责
任公司
(founded in 2008; headquartered at Shanghai; government-owned)
(b) jamboree (n): "a large festive gathering"  www.m-w.com
(c) Most of contents of an airplane are imported. This contravenes China's
original goal to make a commercial airplane indigenously and from ground up.
Also the same may make the final product uncompetitive in price, not only
internationally but also in its domestic market. See next.

My comment:

One of ARJ21's competitors is MRJ, which claims advanced technology.

About the Doug Cameron's report in (1)(a).

What I had in the original posting was the Dow Jones Newswires version that
appeared on July 12, 2010. When I typed the original, I read  the newspaper
yesterday (July 13) morning and knew the Newswires version was different. I
tried many times to locate the newspaper version but somehow that version
was not available at the time (3 pm). So I had to use the Newswires version.
At noontime today (July 14), I re-read the report in WSJ newspaper of July
13, which confirmed my belief that the contents were different.

This is the newspaper version of the newspaper version, which is available
today, with a title different from that of Newswires.
