They would rather buy their own product first, then Airbus....Boeing is their last choice.
China's aviation regulator said on Friday that there is still a huge amount of testing to be done for the home-grown narrowbody C919 aircraft to be certified, raising doubt over planemaker COMAC's year-end target.
So far, the C919, China's attempt to rival Airbus SE and Boeing Co, has completed only 34 certification tests out of 276 planned, Yang Zhenmei, a Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) official, told reporters.
Reuters in September reported COMAC has found it harder to meet certification and production targets for the C919 amid tough U.S. export rules, according to three people with knowledge of the programme.
China Eastern Airlines Corp Ltd said in August it expected to receive its first C919 by the end of the year, but that would require the model to be certified.
COMAC is years behind its initial certification schedule and it did not take the C919 to China's biggest air show in Zhuhai in September.
C919 Chief Designer Wu Guanghui last month recommended CAAC continue to focus on certification as a priority for next year and asked it to step up resources to help with the delivery and commercial operations of the plane.
Of course but the C919 has run into big problems getting certified.

No. Not even close. I dont even know if this is a design problem or a manufacturing problem. It is however super embarrassing for the Chinese.
Oh well then happy hunting!!
Canada’s Flair Airlines has announced the next round of its major fleet expansion. The airline plans to lease an additional 14 new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft for delivery in 2023, more than doubling its fleet compared to where it stands today. The primary motive behind the fleet growth is expansion, with plans to continue adding new points to its network.

If you want to see how badly America has fallen Boeing is a great place to start.
They dont do anything well anymore.
Boeing has sold a thousand Max jets since returning to service, that's good news ffs.
Is that before or after the subtracted orders?

Big Q: How they gonna fuel those things up?
China has just recertified the 737 Max, that's a huge market.
April 7 2022 (Reuters) - A Boeing Co (BA.N) 737 MAX meant for China Eastern Airlines (600115.SS) subsidiary Shanghai Airlines landed in Shanghai on Thursday, flight tracking websites showed, amid uncertainty over when the model will resume flying in China.
Flight BOE631 from Guam came more than three weeks after the first 737 MAX bound for a Chinese customer since a 2019 grounding began its journey from Seattle to Boeing's completion plant in Zhoushan.
The plane, painted in Shanghai Airlines livery, had been stuck on the ground in Guam since March 15 due to a minor technical issue.
