GE to outsource aviation electronics to Communist China

General Electric's aviation unit is teaming with Aviation Industry Corp. of China to develop and market electronic systems for commercial aircraft customers, including the C919 narrow-body aircraft that China hopes will compete with jets made by industry giants Boeing and Airbus.

maybe the ChiComs can make our military electronics too

GE has more than 12,000 employees currently based in China.

versus....

 The deal will create 200 jobs in the U.S.

"Our immediate focus is to jointly bid the best, competitive solutions to compete for the COMAC C919 narrow-body aircraft program and then get ready for the next generation of Boeing and Airbus products."

(you can read THIS as future Boeing and Airbus electronics will be made in CHINA)

China has financed our good times for almost two decades now.

And now that we are not buying anywhere near as much of their poorly made and often dangerous shit we have to give them something.l

interesting post. nice that he still enjoys the job. as for me, I'm glad I'm retired. after 9-11, between TSA "security", company cutbacks and giving concessions to our criminal "executives", who took us into bankruptcy anyhow, "flying the line" just became one big pain in the ass.

back on the subject of GE and other companies outsourcing, people are wondering "where are the jobs?" in the "recovery". well this is where they have gone. I fear that 10% unemployment is probably the "new normal".

and you can book that the next GE operation to be outsourced will be the engine shop.

and btw, United Airlines is now doing a load of it's international aircraft overhaul in China.
