I can't wait for that to happen as I'm sure Doug Ford will be just as in favour of 'Chinese Spy Planes' as he is about 'Chinese Spy Cars' (people who live in Ontario should get the reference), so that would be some good theatre.

That said, I don't see Comac making a sale, let alone flying a plane, in NA for a long, long time. Adding a new OEM into the complex supply chain of a major airline is a HUGE task and the juice really has to be worth the squeeze.
