Why don’t they just buy COMAC planes? I’m sure China would be happy to sell, since it’s apparent the Anglo controlled Europe and five eyes will not open their high tech consumer market to China.

Not only for political reasons, but COMAC won't have a long-haul widebody model until C929 comes along. Like it or not, the widebody options are still dominated by Boeing and Airbus. Aside from the odd Tupolev from Russia.

Iran already has maintenance for these planes. and they are highly likely used in global south. . there is significant difference in performance when you are down in places like Africa. it will add alot of flying time and less comfort in narrow body over long distance. Africa is keenly watched by Gulf Arabs this IL-96 is extensively used by Russians there and this is the fastest plane when you consider its heavy VIP configuration.
Tupolev are narrow body but you can see the flight performance difference in Tupolev. Moscow-Hanoi flight time 9 hours as most of flight was in North. but Tel Aviv-Moscow flight time is 5 hours with 1/3 of the distance. this rough comparison.

I'm watching Robert O'Brien being interviewed on CNN. He was one of Trump's National Security advisors when he was President. The guy must be from the Beavis and Butthead universe. He has a weird off-center stare and the only thing that moves is his lower jaw when he talks. He wrote a Foreign Affairs article I think was posted in here. He said the Putin and Kim meeting is a reaction to what the US is doing and is a sign of how weak they are. He's not the only one I've heard with this talking point. The US expressing alarmed that any leader of a country the US doesn't like talking to another country they also don't like is a reaction. So who's the one that's insecure? The US having missile interceptors is a reaction to adversaries having missiles. The US saying they are going to make more nukes because Russia and China have nukes is a reaction. The fact is this is spin as usual on their part. They're the ones that are insecure and weak trying to spin it's about someone else. So a country that is strong... they're not bothered by the actions of other countries they don't like? That doesn't describe the US at all. Look at how paranoid the US is over China doing anything.

The ultimate problem with Trump is he surrounds himself with the most anti-china hawks. It mostly likely self sabortaging, but it makes the lives of Asians/Chinese more difficult in da Murica.

Don't expect too much from this.

Overall, majority of Thai peoples especially young generation still look down on China. They are often mocking Chinese qualily and believe that all China can do are copy and stole. US and EU are their best friend and Japan is a society they are aspire to be.

Just because they don't like Korean doesn't mean they will see Chinese in better light.
NPCs gonna NPC.
