Airbus to set up China plant

Getting a strong foothold in China's vast market could be
strategically important for Airbus in the long term. Rival Boeing

China renews airliner manufacturing plan

BEIJING - Almost 30 years after China's first attempt to build a
large airliner was scrapped, the government has announced that the
project will be resumed in its new 2006-10 five-year plan in hopes
of realizing the Chinese aircraft industry's longtime dream to
meet the country's growing demand for air travel.


So it appears that Aribus will train the workforce for their
competition. How cleaver. :-(
