#1 'is pursuing this strategy even at the risk of seeing some of its technological expertise slip through its fingers.'

#3 Just make sure everything has a kill-switch, including the software. It's a nice thought to think the would use AirBus tech then suddenly fall from the sky cursing "French traitors".

#4 Makes a lot of sense to me. It's not like airplanes will be built in Toulouse in another generation. Prayer rugs with compasses pointing to Mecca, yes; airplanes, no.

#5 They just want to pump Airbus dry of technology, and then come out with their own products. I've seen it happen a million times. In 10-20 years, there will be a highly competitive Chinese airline industry that will undercut Airbus left and right. These dummies are sowing the seeds of their own bankruptcy.

#6 So before you board an Airbus, make sure it's not a Chinese made knock-off.
