Two Chinese-made passenger jetliners, the C919 and ARJ21, landed in Hong Kong, marking China’s efforts to break into the Western-dominated aircraft market.
The C919, manufactured by the state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac), aims to challenge foreign models like Boeing’s 737 MAX and the Airbus A320.
