initiate contact with you by text, email, or social media. and will most likely reach out first by mail. >> criminals will steal money from anyone. if doesn't matter if you're 15 or 95. >> reporter: nancy chen, new york. china's recent military drills around taiwan are just the latest example of the rivalry between china and the u.s. and its allies. but there's also an economic battle under way, and part of that is taking place in the sky. a state-owned chinese company has now developed a passenger jet that has many of the same components of the boeing 737. and as kris van cleave reports, much of the technology involved was stolen. >> reporter: this isn't just a new airliner. it's a growing threat to the u.s. economy that's poised to take off. the chinese-built c-919 is so important to the chinese communist party, it's been called a source of national pride. >> aerospace is part of the game
3:46 am
of nations. >> reporter: john astroer, editor of the air current, has tracked the progress of the c-919 for years. >> the ability to design an airplane, it ultimately represents self-reliance, modernity, the desire to engage with the world. >> reporter: it's been a top strategic goal for over a decade, a large, low-cost domestic airliner, positioning china to one day capture one of the world's largest markets for jets, potentially costing the u.s. economy up to $1.5 trillion over the next 20 years. >> you're talking about a market of about 8,000 airplanes, and if china wants a chunk of that, that fundamentally means fewer airplanes for boeing and airbus to deliver. >> reporter: china unveiled the prototype to much fanfare, and after lengthy delays, the first completed c-919 was finally delivered to a chinese airline four months ago. if this national emblem of china looks a lot like an airbus a-320
3:47 am
or boeing 737, that's by design according to current and former national security officials like matt pottinger. >> it really looks like a knockoff. >> reporter: 60% of the plane's components are the result of deals with america's top aerospace companies. >> china has a lot of different varieties of ways of relieving people of their intellectual property. >> reporter: the price of admission to china's lucrative market is steep. >> if you want to sell stuff to 1.3 billion people in china, you're going to have to give us the blueprints for your goods, or you're going to have to go into a joint venture with us where you're going to train our engineers. and this is what we call forced technology transfer. >> reporter: the national security experts say there's another way china acquires american innovation, espionage. >> do you feel like they stole an airliner? >> i don't feel that way. i think that's a fact. >> reporter: bill avenue nina was america's top counterintelligence official when the department of justice exposed an intricate scheme targeting american aviation technology.
3:48 am
>> how strong is the link between chinese espionage and the c-919? >> it's directly related. the chinese communist party can no longer say, we don't use your intelligence apparatus to conduct economic espionage. this is now proof that they do, d they've been very successful at it. >> reporter: a 2019 crowd strike report revealed one major focus of beijing's spy craft -- components of the c-919. evidence gathered by u.s. investigators and shared with cbs news shows chinese intelligence officer xu yanjun used aliases, front companies, and false documents as well as an intense hacking effort. one main target, a ge aviation engineer who specialized in jet engine design. >> first process is what they do all the time, unvit them over to china to give a speech, very benign. what does hwh are the types of unclassified things e working on. >> reporter: xu's requests grew bolder, catching the attention of the fbi. agents launched a sting
3:49 am
directing the ge employee and listening to his communications as they planned to meet in person again. speaking in chinese, xu asked him to bring his company laptop so xu could look over the stuff. the employee assured him, i certainly will have the computer. two months later, xu traveled to belgium to meet the employee, but the fbi was waiting. he was brought to the u.s. to stand trial, and late last year, sentenced to 20 years for spying. >> it was monumental. it's the first time ever where we arrested, indicted, convicted in a jury, and sentenced a known intelligence officer running a cell, collecting aviation technology to benefit the civilian and military apparatus of the communist party of china. >> reporter: xu's sentencing memo reveals two chinese-owned companies involved in building the c-919 were the intended recipients of his spy craft. >> beijing's goal for its aerospace energy, it's not to just be one of a few
3:50 am
competitors. it is to dominate the global spe and drive its t of ne >> the notyantoeing and airbus out of china. they want them out of business. >> certainly. do you remember al ketel, marconi, nor tell? these are all western companies in the space of making telecommunications equipment. those companies don't exist anymore. they're dead. and airbus and boeing are on the kill list now. >> the c-919 could fly its first passengers in china any day now but has not been approved by the faa. so it's not likely that we'll see it at a u.s. airport in the foreseeable future. boeing and airbus declined comment for this story. in a statement, ge aviation credited its advanced security systems and cooperation with the fbi for helping identify that fbi for helping identify that chinese spy. yo! you gotta try this new axe. it's the fine fragrance g.o.a.t.! ♪ ♪ the new axe fine fragrance collection. smth figrans ♪
