pakistani air force customers of the j.f. seventeen and earlier generation chinese fighter along with ally russia pakistan is the only other foreign military taking part in the aerial displays. and started having johnny had a new sixty's and then we moved on to go production but a very important for buck funny and forced to have good relations with china. commercial travel demands could see china take over from the u.s. as the world's largest aviation market in the next decade and that means a big need for more airliners for years china has been developing indigenous commercial aircraft as with the stealth fighter they have been delays. but for the first time a life sized model of the wide body c.r. nine tonight a joint project with russia was unveiled at the show a move to break into the market dominated by air bus and boeing but the first

version of the plane won't take flight for at least five years and it will be powered by engines from either the u.s. or europe the jew high airshow is now in its twenty second year traditionally china has used it as a showcase for its booming aviation industry and advanced weapons but this year is much more subdued thanks to budget cuts and an ongoing trade war with the united states but the trade war has not kept american companies away in fact the organizers of the usa pavilion at the expo say they've seen a twenty five percent growth since the last show two years ago aviation companies and suppliers view their business in china in the long term and at least one sees china as a market not a place for manufacturing i think you know it's going to be. challenging in the next tell me two to three years. it's only the beginning of this kind of trade war the model of our company will never have been a base company and you say home first. but i mean us want to mate.

and we've got to keep it this way on the spot of our culture so with the expected rapid growth in the number of chinese passengers taking to the sky over the next ten years some companies are willing to put up with the trade war for now. joins us now live from the. jew high going to maybe want to get them looking pretty busy behind you. absolutely yeah i know it's been it's you know that right now today is the first public day of the air so the last couple of days have been you know the industry and there are a lot of displays as we saw in that story and one thing that's that's interesting going off and what we heard for the tail end of that package that american manufacturing company they make small compressors for aircraft very important but small bits what's going to be happening next month is that boeing massive massive company powerhouse in the aviation industry they are opening

a completion plant here in china underlying that these companies here because of the rapid growth in aviation in china they are taking a long view of what's going on with the trade war they're opening this completion plant for seven thirty seven aircraft now what's going to happen is if there comes a manufacturer for the most part in the united states shipped over here to china and then they're completed that means the interiors are built and then they're painted with paint schemes of a certain airlines that is specifically for a chinese audience the chinese market so obviously boeing playing the long game even though there's a trade war going on even though there's talk about increasing tariffs and how long tariffs are going to be in place is unknown they are taking a long game look at it and they are opening this plant in december ok so many of interest but is anyone buying. right now yes i mean the chinese airliners have been buying up any aircraft they can really get because there is such a rapid rapid growth of me. airplanes now one thing that's interesting is you fold

into the indigenous commercial aircraft that are being built are being developed here in china that has been a little bit delayed then the chinese officials would like you saw in that piece there's a wide body that's been developing been in development with russia that has not really take. hold as quickly as they expected that's probably not going to take its maiden flight for another five years and then with these commercial airliners particularly a brand spanking new one with a brand spanking new joint. efforts from russia and china that's going to take years before it's certified to actually carry passengers so when you talk a long game yes the american manufacturers are looking at that despite what's going on with a trade war but the chinese manufacturing aircraft manufacturing is also taking a look at that but they're still covering about pretty much any of the planes they can order any the planes that are growing up. into hi thanks very much scott. final preparations are underway in paris to mark one hundred years since the end of

world war one on sunday french president of. this that officially ended the conflict well in sixteen million people were killed of a four year is well and jordan takes a look at how the u.s. got involved and the legacy it has left on the american people on april second one nine hundred seventeen u.s. president woodrow wilson issued the battle cry the world must be made safe for democracy many americans approved of the decision to go to war against germany and its allies a government that is running amok but despite the headlines and propaganda efforts just as many americans opposed fighting in the so-called great war. the u.s. historian michael kazin described the antiwar movement in his recent book war against war it didn't seem like a war that was in the american national interests seem like a war that most europeans had not wanted to fight in the first place so there was

a sense that if america got involved the war it would only make the eyes face more militarist country which is just the fall face saw in the european powers that had gone to war in the first place even so kazan says the impact of the war on us society was far reaching some suffragist leveraged women's performance in the workplace to convince congress they should have the right to vote black soldiers including the harlem hell fighters who fought in france discovered their service did not protect them from racism after the war and that inspired the work of civil rights activists in the decades ahead and the us started a long running debate about what it means to be a global power economically militarily and diplomatically. wilson had resisted calls to enter the war since it began in one nine hundred fourteen but after a german u. boat torpedo the cargo ship aztec on april first getting congress to declare war was easy by the time the armistice was signed on november eleventh one thousand

nine hundred eighteen one hundred sixteen thousand u.s. troops had died either in combat or because of the flu pandemic kazan says that does not mean the antiwar movement had failed what the story there to we're moving doing what one can teach us is that it's crucial for americans for people for the nation to force their politicians and their media. and their businesses those of other businesses to. think very carefully about this decision because once you decide to go to war there's no going back an important insight one hundred years on especially given that americans still don't agree on when and why the u.s. should go to war rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington persian levels in the indian capsule in new delhi have sought to twenty times the safe level they often handed
