Preface
Te U.S. aerospace industry is a major contributor to U.S. exports and
national security. China maintains industrial policies aimed at creating
a globally competitive aviation industry. Building on previous stud-
ies by the RAND Corporation—
Ready for Takeof: China’s Advanc-
ing Aerospace Industry
and
Te Efectiveness of China’s Industrial Poli-
cies in Commercial Aviation
—the U.S.-China Economic and National
Security Review Commission (USCC) asked RAND to assess Chinese
investment in U.S. aviation. In this report, the term
aviation
generally
refers to the industry of manufacturing aircraft and does not extend
to operating airlines, which is not currently threatened by Chinese
competition.
Given the economic and security sensitivities of Chinese invest-
ment in U.S. aviation, the USCC asked RAND to provide the context
for China’s future demand for aviation products and an update on Chi-
na’s aviation industrial policies and the state of its aviation industry;
to review Chinese investment in U.S. aviation and related university
connections with Chinese entities; and to assess the implications of the
resulting technology transfer on U.S. national security and aviation
industry competitiveness.
