China-made planes set to soar onto world market

FARNBOROUGH, England - Chinese planes can make a "significant impact" on the world arms market, said an expert of a leading think tank.

Two JF-17s, co-produced by China and Pakistan, have just made their international debut at an ongoing major international air show.

Gary Li, who analyzes the People's Liberation Army for London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, also told China Daily that the Chinese air force is already "one of the strongest" in the world.
