Interest from china in Bombardier is encouraging. Who said Canada is lacking in innovative high tech industrial products. Seems to me the C-series is a winner.  The tactic of trying to discredit is questionable.  Why would Boeing not try to buy shares in Bombardier, it would add tremendously to their line of products and would intergrade the two companies on some level without losing their independence. The plane business is an enormous capital intensive business, government or through military spending (government indirectly) being financed.  Boeing should therefor try to make this a win-win if a Chinese national company steps up it will for sure loose out in the long run.  Time to turn the ship strategy fast. See if the entrepreneurial spirit is there in the upper ranks of US executives or just a whining strategy of obstruction the conventional way.
