To be specific it's airplane engines, 5th gen turbofan engines. China started building COMAC airplanes too, probably with questionable maintenance and serviceability story, that they can push with govt airlines. They are still having trouble with modern turbofan engines though.

One airplane isn't a full story. The US and Europe still lead the way here.

I believe engines are from Rolls Royce which is European.
