BEIJING, Nov. 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The fifteenth China International Aviation and
Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China, will be
held in Zhuhai, South China's
Guangdong Province, from
November 12 to 17. The Chinese Air
Force revealed at a press conference on Tuesday that new equipment,
including the J-35A medium-sized stealth fighter, the HQ-19
surface-to-air missile weapon system, and a new attack
reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle will make their debut at the
airshow. Although the event has not yet begun, the information
disclosed in advance has sparked heated discussions. In particular,
the preview of some "pillars of the country" will be unveiled one
after another, making military fans at home and abroad full of
expectations and every patriot proud.
As one of the world's top five airshows, Airshow China has
become an important platform for showcasing international aviation
and aerospace advanced technology and high-end equipment, as well
as promoting exchanges and cooperation.
This year's Airshow China has attracted more than 1,000
exhibitors from 47 countries and regions, including Russia, France and the US. It features many
world-renowned aviation enterprises, including Airbus, Honeywell,
Embraer and Thales. International aviation and aerospace companies
have great confidence in the Chinese market, so they are willing to
bring their most advanced and high-end products to China to showcase themselves and facilitate
cooperation through this equal and open platform of mutual
benefit.
Airshow China has continued to grow in scale and quality,
progressing hand in hand with the expansion of China's high-end manufacturing industry,
mutually promoting each other's advancement. The aviation industry,
hailed as the "flower of modern industry," is a critical marker of
a nation's technological, economic, and defense capabilities as
well as its level of industrialization, reflecting its
comprehensive ability in high-end manufacturing.
Over several decades, China's
aviation and aerospace equipment has achieved leapfrog development,
securing tangible accomplishments. Today, we possess advanced
active defense equipment and highly acclaimed aerospace technology.
Breakthroughs have been made with civil aircraft, such as the C919,
ARJ21 and the AG600 "Kunlong," while drone technology is leading
the world. This showcases China's
steady and balanced progress in independent innovation across
"land, sea, air, space, electronics, and cyberspace," witnessing
the journey from a fledgling to an advanced aviation industry, as
well as the entire industrial system, and garnering repeated
admiration.
Thus, Airshow China has also embodied the sincere patriotic
enthusiasm of the Chinese public, rooted in a peace-oriented
spirit. From the first Airshow China to its current status as one
of the world's top five air shows over the nearly three decades,
China's contribution to global
peace and stability has become increasingly prominent. China's strong defense capabilities have
demonstrated remarkable performance in international rescue
operations and anti-piracy efforts. China's advanced civil aviation and aerospace
technology has benefited many people in developing countries
through various levels of cooperation. The progress in China's aviation and aerospace industry not
only equips the country to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and
development interests but also empowers it to make greater
contributions to regional stability and world peace.
In addition to cutting-edge equipment such as the J-35A and
HQ-19, this airshow will also feature a newly established
demonstration area for drones and unmanned boats. The lunar samples
collected from the far side of the moon during the Chang'e 6
mission will also be showcased at this year's airshow. These
elements indicate that China's
technology is already at the forefront of the world in certain
fields. As China makes significant
progress in high-end manufacturing and enters the world's top tier
in multiple technological domains, cooperation with China represents opportunities and mutual
benefits. The Chinese people are diligently and steadily working to
do their own things well, bringing shared prosperity to the
world.
At the previous Airshow China, the amount of cooperation
agreements signed on the first day reached 250 billion yuan, with over 350 aircraft
transactions. This year, people are generally more optimistic, as
evidenced by the surge in the number of exhibitors, the emergence
of high-end equipment, and the rising enthusiasm among the
public.
With the implementation of a number of major projects and
initiatives, China will adopt a
more proactive and open stance toward advancing international
cooperation and exchanges in the aviation and aerospace field.
Therefore, what people see at Airshow China are not only "pillars
of the country," but also China's
confidence and openness in high-tech fields, as well as a vision of
peaceful development and win-win cooperation.
