It is a case of "You make X component in my country or our airline will not buy any of these" I would not be surprised if Boeing has to set up a whole production line in China in order to sell the stupid plane there.

Since they have outsourced the engineering of major components as well as the production of them, I would not be surprised if Boeing has wings that don't match up to the fuselage!

I, for one, do not want to be a passenger on Serial Number 1!
