Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
China has launched its first aircraft-engine manufacturer in an attempt to wean itself off Western suppliers.
The state-owned Aero-Engine Group of China was created by combining a group of existing aircraft-engine companies, according to local media reports.
It has about 50bn yuan ($7.5bn) in registered capital and will develop both military and commercial engines.
China already makes its own planes, but has struggled for decades to develop engines that meet global requirements.

It doesn't take as much jet fuel for China to shoot a missile, as is does for the US to send the target 1/2 way round the world to get shot down.
Same for boats, don't even bother thinking about people.
