It isn't. Licensed, China can produce as many engine as it wants.
MUTUAL DEFENCE CLAUSE
The Treaty of Lisbon strengthens the solidarity between EU countries in dealing with external threats by introducing a mutual defence clause (Article 42(7) of the Treaty on European Union). This clause provides that if an EU country is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other EU countries have an obligation to aid and assist it by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
This obligation of mutual defence is binding on all EU countries. However, it does not affect the neutrality of certain EU countries and is consistent with the commitments of EU countries which are NATO members.
This provision is supplemented by the solidarity clause (Article 222 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU) which provides that EU countries are obliged to act jointly where an EU country is the victim of a terrorist attack or a natural or man-made disaster.

What makes you think Putin ever asked for their help? AFAIK Belarussian troops have not gone into Ukraine either and they are part of the Union State. Kazakhstan is probably still cleaning house and it is not like their military is particularly formidable. Probably would be more of a liability than help at this point. Perhaps in the future they will boost military spending but right now this does not seem to be the case.
Please do accept it EU. Uncle Putin needs an excuse to bust up TANAP and your dream of Caspian Sea gas.

Why pay them a license fee, when you should be making your own?
Because they own the technology and paying someone to show you how to do something is easier than reverse engineering or starting from scratch.
Now they know how to do it, it is time to use your own technology.
Please tell me the historical evidence for that view? What NATO country has been lost in such a way? Or why the Soviets didn't try to invade a peripheral NATO country or even test that notion back then?
Past history would suggest that you are only fooling yourself to think otherwise
The Soviet Union disintegrated.
Why not NATO?
If President Trump had his way ...
2024!
Mearsheimer is stupid. He has no brain.
The only strategy he knows is playing cowboys and Indians.
He lived in an era where the United States had all the power.
Almost any strategy can work when you got all the power.
Now when there is some real competition, it is still more cowboys and Indians. That is the fundamental problem of the right wing of America IMHO, too simplistic to the point of irrelevance.
That's all they know. Playing cowboys and Indians.
Then again, I guess he had a point. They all left Afghanistan together.
