General Electric makes electronics. General electric makes avionics. Avionics are required in airplanes. A company in China is making a new airliner. They need avionics. General electric is going to give the technology to their Chinese partners to put in the new airliner.
Problem: China is a communist nation. A Chinese company is the Chinese government is the Chinese military. Concern: China is on the way to becoming a world military super-power. A COMMUNIST world super-power.
And: Avionics for airliners transfer nicely to military fighter, bomber, and command & control aircraft.

P.S. if you think I'm paranoid about not flying on Airbus aircraft, just wait until a Chinese company starts making planes! Hint: You will NOT catch me in the air in a Chinese-built airliner. Oh wait, I forgot: I'm repeating myself!
P.P.S. In China, they are highly original thinkers. For example, they never would steal someone else's well-proven idea. I mean, this airplane has NO resemblance at ALL to any existing airplanes!
