And 16 years later it has only "sold" less than a dozen airframes overseas (and non delivered). It was only this year (2024) that a Comac aircraft has completed its second international flight (Vietnam).

Comac have a long long way to go yet; they have yet to tackle the certification issue let alone the delivery and operational issues. Maybe another decade?

Only then could it be considered a proper international airframer.
