China's C919 jet faces turbulent skies amid rising US-China trade tensions

China's ambition to challenge Boeing and Airbus with its own homegrown passenger jet is running into turbulence, with deliveries of finished aircraft likely to fall far short of its target announced for this year. The C919 jet -- a single-aisle passenger plane aiming to rival Boeing's 737 and Airbus' A320 is made by state-owned aircraft manufacturer COMAC.

U.S. officials are launching an investigation into whether China lived up to its commitments under a 2020 trade pact that President Donald Trump described at the time as an incredible breakthrough.' The announcement Friday by U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer came the same day Trump was scheduled to head to Asia, where he said he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in an effort to ease trade tensions between the world's two biggest economies.
