Thanks Huang, but there's no gift C919

HUANG SHICONG, a TV commentator in Taiwan who was widely ridiculed after saying that people on the mainland could not afford to eat zhacai, or pickled mustard root, in August, became the media focus again by uttering exciting words to laud China's first passenger airliner the C919. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

When Huang said mainland people could not afford zhacai, a zhacai producer mailed him a whole box of their products as a gift. This time, after praising the C919, the response was:"Thank you, Mr Huang, but we won't send you a plane as a gift."

That's only a joke, and Huang's words about zhacai are obviously based on lack of understanding of the Chinese mainland. But this time his words about C919 are true, without any exaggeration even though he uttered them in an exciting way.
