Western sinking, do we see the bottom yet?

My service is slow but without actually seeing the “answer”, I will explain that I had an airplane designed by Cessna in the US with parts created in China and assembled here in the US. The damn plane lasted for about 3 years before Cessna gave up on trying to keep it running without replacing all the faulty steel/ bolts (like the engine mounts that failed due to crap steel quality), so whatever this propaganda piece, Bull Field Pies.
This is not about my plane specifically, but about the airplane model that was designed for sport plane pilots, like my Type I diabetic husband who had been designing airplane engines since high school and could not fly because he could not pass the pilot medical…
I guess maybe the blame-street news doesn’t want you to know this about the recovery here…

Understand, I am from Middletown, Ohio, home of Armco Steel which had the longest hot strip in the world… taken down by our OWN cabal communists and ruined the lives of nearly every friend from high school who stayed committed to the industry and to the town.

My only comment here, maybe even a somewhat superficial one, is that as we so often see, timing is everything. The C919 may well create more than a niche market globally - I would think that dominating certain domestic markets would be a great proving ground for the planes for a start - with such success following on from the timing of the situation right now. A lot of hurdles to jump over for sure, but the western aviation industry is in trouble, the more so if you include military planes (another F35 fell from the sky this week), and carriers globally will certainly look at alternatives. Add to this the whole tariff debacle, where all of those rare earth magnets manufactured in China may not be available to western industries, especially US ones, and maybe we will see that ‘timing’ accelerate a bit. 
I think you are both right. The west is in trouble and Chinese and others may get a foothold in producing all sorts of stuff. The western cabal is so ferocious in vampirism, its eating their own, hence the reason for a foothold by other vampiristic cultures that have raw materials in their soil. Western vampires are cought up in a bloodlust fest they can’t get out off and feasting themselves into extinction with us along for the ride.
