This report assesses Chinese investment in U.S. aviation from 2005 to 2016. It provides context in China's demand for aviation products and aviation industrial policies, while assessing technology transfers and impact on U.S. competitiveness. Chinese investment in U.S. aviation over the past decade has primarily involved lower-technology general aviation manufacturers that do not affect U.S. competitiveness.
Given the economic and security sensitivities of Chinese investment in U.S. aviation, the USCC asked RAND to provide the context for China’s future demand for aviation products and an update on China’s aviation industrial policies and the state of its aviation industry; to review Chinese investment in U.S. aviation and related university connections with Chinese entities; and to assess the implications of the resulting technology transfer on U.S. national security and aviation industry competitiveness.
This research was conducted within the International Security and Defense Policy Center of the RAND Corporation’s National Security Research Division (NSRD).
