Chinese C919 debuts Singapore Airshow

中国大飞机C919海外首秀引关注

Chinese passenger jet C919 debuted in a flight demonstration at the Singapore Airshow, which kicked off on February 20, 2024. Since its inaugural commercial flight from Shanghai to Beijing in May, the C919 has provided a promising alternative to the longstanding duopoly of Airbus and Boeing in the passenger jet market. According to a Boeing report released in September 2023, China is set to become the biggest domestic aviation market in the world in the next two decades, accounting for 20% of the global airplane demand by 2042. 

在2月20日开幕的新加坡航展上，中国生产的大型客机C919在国际专业观众面前进行正式飞行表演，这是中国国产大飞机首次在海外航展上进行飞行表演。从去年5月圆满完成首次商业载客飞行以来，C919飞出国门，打破了非“A”（空客）即“B”（波音）的局面，为各国航空公司提供了“C”（中国商飞）选项。根据波音发布的2023年《民用航空市场展望》，未来20年，中国接收的飞机将占到全球交付量的五分之一。中国也将成为全球民用航空领域最大的单一国家市场。

10th anniversary of the beginning of coordinated development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region

京津冀协同发展重大国家战略实施十周年

In northern China, a megacity cluster, known as "Jing-Jin-Ji," spanning an area of 216,000 square kilometers and with a population of over 100 million, is emerging as one of the country's most dynamic, open and innovative regions. Since February 2014, the coordinated development of the Jing-Jin-Ji region, or the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, has been a key national strategy. Over the past decade, President Xi Jinping has made a series of instructions regarding the coordinated development of this region. He also chaired multiple meetings to chart the course of the strategy and made several fact-finding trips to gain inspiration and assess progress. In 2023, the combined gross domestic product of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei reached 10.4 trillion yuan (about 1.46 trillion U.S. dollars), an increase of 1.9 times from the figure in 2013.

面积21.6万平方公里、拥有1亿多人口的京津冀地区，是我国经济最具活力、开放程度最高、创新能力最强的地区之一。2014年，京津冀协同发展上升为国家战略。10年来，习近平总书记为京津冀协同发展指明前进方向、提供根本遵循，推动三地协同发展不断迈上新台阶。2023年三地经济总量达到10.4万亿元，是2013年的1.9倍。
