My goodness. You're just going to believe whatever you want to believe, as they say: the eyes of the beholder will see what it wants.
There is no "malicious speculation" in anything I say, I'm upfront with my comments, I say what I say. You're free to check my history on this forum and read my comments on China (not what you selectively want to see) and make up your mind.
I used North Korea as an example of your great power countries who get arrogant and look down on others as if they don't need them. I said they are free to become North Korea if they wish and try to grow on their own. The problem is that you folks are emotional and are taking things way too literally. It goes back to my point of seeing whatever you want. The point isn't about North Korea, the point is that the your great powerness (not a word, I know) comes from doing business with the world, most of which comes from the developing countries. Stay focused.
Nigeria, Indonesia, etc don't have to do business with COMAC. It's a fledgling airline that has zero track record unlike it's competitors. This means it doesn't have enough experienced pilots who understand its systems and hasn't been around long enough to build a safety record. It can only offer cheaper purchases. By certifying them to fly in their air spaces governments of these countries are taking a risk and willing to use their citizens as guinea pigs on a new airline, when they can retreat to the comfort of familiarity and safety by purchasing tested competitors like Airbus and Embraer, yet we're willing to give COMAC a chance , these are the folks you're looking down on!
