Summary
The video discusses the challenges faced by China's C919 aircraft in obtaining certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). It argues that the certification delay is more about geopolitical dynamics and market protectionism than technical flight safety, suggesting that the C919 poses a threat to the duopoly of Airbus and Boeing. Despite this, the video points out that China may still succeed by leveraging its domestic market and seeking partnerships beyond the West.
