@yilu_ultra@WanderingBuckey@LucasFoxNews Not that we haven't tried. In 70s we build the Y-10, a localized 707. Prototypes flew, but funding and other issues prevented mass production so it was abandoned. When McDonnell Douglas set up the MD-82 line in Shanghai, the Y-10 production line was dismantled. What a pity!
@Truthful_ast Suprisingly, this could also be the cheapest expendable rocket ever. Insititute 8 said LM-12's cost per kg can under 20,000 RMB, which is cheaper than F9.
Legacy media REFUSED to show you a SINGLE SECOND of President Trump's speech and historic state dinner with Xi Jinping tonight at the White House
So here's the ENTIRE thing, from start to finish, with translations for Xi's speech
DO NOT LET LEGACY MEDIA KEEP YOU IN THE DARK
@CampDavidAZ@nicksortor@grok He got B-2479. B-2479 was bought as an airliner and modified after several commercial flights. In 90s when Jiang Zemin bought his own 767, we found plenty of tapping device from CIA. After that, we use modified airliners to be Air force one.
@mrxmsa@BRICSinfo Because when we want a real presidential fleet in 90s, we bought a 767 from Boeing, then we found plenty of tapping device by CIA inside. 😰😰😰
@AJButton2 In 90s we bought a brand new 767-300 from Boeing as Jiang Zemin's fleet. Then we found 20+ tapping device inside from CIA. After that, we only use 747 same from the commercial one. Air China got 8 747-8s and B-2479 and 2482 is for Xi, which never fly airlines.
I am traveling through Germany with a Chinese colleague who has never been to Europe.
