OREANDA-NEWS Rostec State Corporation is ready to supply China with Russian aircraft engines in the event of such a request, Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
"We remember how it was with the MC-21 and Superjet programs, where global cooperation was initially planned with the participation of Americans, Europeans, and Japanese. Then they started to "turn off" composite materials, motors, electronics, and so on down the list.… Therefore, we are well aware of the situation in which our Chinese colleagues find themselves. If such a request is received from them, we will definitely respond and offer effective solutions," Chemezov said when asked if Rostec was ready to offer China Russian engines amid reports of U.S. intentions to stop supplying engines for the COMAC C919 aircraft.
"Russia will have a full range of aircraft engines – PD-14, PD-8, and the most powerful PD-35 is just around the corner," he added.
Western countries have imposed harsh anti-Russian sanctions in connection with the special operation in Ukraine. In particular, the European Union banned the supply of civil aircraft and spare parts to Russia, and ordered lessors to terminate contracts with Russian airlines. In addition, aircraft maintenance and insurance services were banned, and the EU, the USA, Canada and a number of other countries closed the skies to Russian aircraft.
The Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that the country will cope with the sanctions pressure that the West began to exert on Russia several years ago and continues to strengthen. Moscow noted that the West lacks the courage to admit the failure of sanctions against the Russian Federation. Western countries themselves have repeatedly expressed the opinion that anti-Russian sanctions are ineffective.
China and the United States are actually in a state of trade war, which broke out after Trump imposed a 10% duty on imports of all Chinese goods in February. In March, it was raised to 20%, and then, after several reciprocal steps, the United States tariff on Chinese goods reached 145%, and the rate for American suppliers in China was 125%.
Then the parties agreed on a mutual reduction of trade duties to 10% for 90 days from May 14. Thus, China has begun to impose a tariff of 10% on imports of American goods, while the United States charges 30% on Chinese products, as the "fentanyl" duty of 20% continues to apply. In August, the countries agreed to extend the tariff break for another 90 days.
