Thus C5 size heavy lifters are nice to have, but not a neccesity, since China has no global defense obligations. However, there is a niche market in transportation of space rockets and fuselage of large aircraft like C919, C929 and may be a larger C9X9 of future.
Those tend to be high volume low mass as no one is shipping them loaded with fuel. A big empty barrel. As such they tend to be converted airliners. “guppy”
