Conclusion
With the continuous improvement of China's aviation design and manufacturing technology, the export of China's aviation industry is not only aviation products, but also gradually extends to production lines and technologies. From traditional Asian and African markets to emerging Latin American markets, from aircraft exports to UAV exports, from aviation products to non-aviation products, from complete aircraft sales to production line output to large-scale construction lines, every change is comprehensive. A clear sign of growing strength. The distance between China's aviation industry and the strong players in the foreign aviation industry has gone from being " out of reach " to " competing on the same stage " , to keeping pace with and surpassing each other. This historic trend is irreversible.
