China urges France to scrap Taiwan arms deal,threatens relations

As I say, the aviation industry is down. This year is projected to be negative growth. There is even no need to buy new plane. Airbus is desperate to clinch China growth. We can even wait for 2 years without getting a new plane. Can Airbus wait for 2 years?


So if there is no need to buy planes now , why would China want to buy planes it does not need?

China is at least 2 decades away from being able to manufacture it's own aeroplanes with it's own engines that are as advanced and as economical as the West and so you do not have much leverage right now.

As an example of how far behind the West that China is in engine technology, your domestic engine for the C919 is not due to be put on production aircraft till 2030 and it will be on the level as the Leap-1B that first flew on a production plane in 2017!

Maybe wait till 2040 before making threats?

China place the order before the coronavirus outbreak, now the aircraft industries is down. Demand for flying is also down. Such simple thing, I don't think we need a genuis to tell u that. This is a good opportunity to reject Airbus deal if France goes ahead with Taiwan military deal.

All air industries are under pressure to clinch as much deal as possible. They know air industries are in hard times.

Go ahead and cancel the order as France has already rejected your request.

You think a few billions of US dollars makes much difference to a Europe that is spending trillions of dollars on Covid-19 this year alone?

France has not reject China request. Typical cheapshot from you. France is not as stupid as Australia.

Yes they have. Just read the article posted by @Vergennes

Problem with China is that it thinks it is more powerful than it really is.
They will cancel the deal. The France will know Taiwan is not worth the trouble. This kind of agreement is early stage. Nothing has finalized.

USD26.8 million you think is worth the effort?

Forget what you think will happen - France just publicly said it will go head and it respects it's
agreement with Taiwan to provide arms to it for self-defence.

Empty threats ... China needs France right now to green light its Huawei 5G.

You are living in la la land buddy. France is a very small portion of the 5G pie.
 
. .
no matter how much arms Taiwan purchase they can not match china ever
 
.
America succumbed already and allowing US companies to do business with Huawai. France would be stupid if it wants to use this to threaten China. Airbus knows which market is crucial.
 
.
It's only political lip service.

They sounding like that, to have justification to keep rising their military budget for 'taiwan threat'

What's the meaning of some decoy launchers to China's Military Industrial might today

Relax, just enjoy the show
