It is useless to have certified Airbus and Boeing fleets if the West is going to block them all as it did with Russia and Iran once the hysteria of the American dictatorship focused on it.It's fucking civilian airliners were talking, you make it sound like the PLA or the rest of China's massive economy is based on constant import.
There's a simple reason China buys Airbus, because its certified right now to fly in EU and US. Its not about China's own technology but about using a brand which other destinations can allow without further hassle. Airlines are a 2 way street, it isn't just China that gets a vote, the destinations where Chinese planes go also get a vote.
The west has nothing to offer India. Except like you say, printed dollars.
Here's the problem of being "rich" in liquidity but not rich in anything else, youre at the mercy of the continued goodwill from industry nations to actually get goods.
Real strength is not in having money or a set of goods, but in having the ability to continously create more items, and the greater scale you can do that, the more powerful your nation is.
So while the government control of the American dictatorship over its home might be stronger or at least break even, the national power of America is nosediving, and it is largely due to China outcompeting and repossessing what they had before in terms of industry and science output.
Currently US has the choice to keep going and fall further behind in national output and gdp, and eventually China will put down another reserve currency which would either lock US out of the global system, or force them to become a resource rentier state.
OR, they can go to war, one where they'll be armed with trillions of dollars against the other side that's armed with the goods that the trillions of dollars would have bought if not for the war.
Neither are that palatable hence we're seeing more and more mass hysteria and madness from their officials.
The government and Western state media are already openly declaring that they will isolate and go to war with China in a short time. And meanwhile China continues to buy and finance planes that will be sanctioned and cannibalized as soon as the US wants it.
The West continues to divide and rule.
