China is determined to become a global transportation superpower, with domination of high-value-added transportation technologies in rail, shipping, and commercial aerospace.

Industry analysts concede that China's strategy to take over high-speed rail was executed to an almost perfect degree. However, they conclude that in commercial aviation, challenges are too great for China to overcome in a short time, and China will certainly not be positioned to take market share from Boeing or Airbus before the early-2030's.

But these market shifts are already happening, China's COMAG is already securing orders from Asian-based airlines. COMAG's C919 is designed to compete directly with the Airbus 320 and Boeing's 737, and will be delivered to buyers outside China beginning in late 2024, years before industry insiders anticipated.
