Neither Boeing or Airbus or Bombardier, yet they get astonishing amount of subsidies. Even smaller players get huge preferences.

And not just subsidies either - I've read several accounts, going back decades, of how British and US spies have inserted themselves into Boeing and Airbus respectively, to steal IP and research to provide to Airbus and Boeing respectively, trying to give them an unfair advantage behind the scenes.
The west complains about China stealing IP, but the west were doing the same long before the Chinese - the difference is the scale and brazenness of China's tactics, and indeed the vast success of those tactics.

Well not quite. US/UK/France/Germany all steal IP from each other, but with China it’s asymmetric. It’s a one-way flow of unprecedented scale. And the former countries are allies and the alliance isn’t in any way weakened by this. Again with China it’s different.
