Should be COMAC instead of CAAC - not sure what I was thinking.
COMAC's production capacity is dependent on the production capacity of hundreds of subcomponent suppliers across the globe.
Is it possible they've stockpiled those parts in large quantities? Seems like a reasonable thing to do considering the political risk. They'd probably get a ton of help to reduce stockpiling costs if they asked the government.
Indeed. I actually suspect the deliveries of the key subsystems, particularly engine, will be controlled and limited. That is, if they're allowed to continue to be delivered at all. To hedge and reduce the risk, CJ1000A needs to be ready asap. If and when CJ1000A is available, the supply of LEAP-1C will be more likely to continue.
