Japan’s Nikkei business news site highlights the military value of Motor Sich. “While Wang is bidding for Motor Sich as a private businessman, Beijing has been keen to upgrade China’s engine manufacturing capabilities to support its ambitions for production of world-class military and commercial jets as well as missiles,” the Nikkei wrote in a detailed article: “Chinese tycoon takes fresh aim at Soviet-era engine producer.” The article quotes: Douglas Barrie of London’s International Institute for Strategic Studies, saying: “The challenges of developing a high-end military turbofan engine are considerable, hence why only a small number of countries… have a national capability developed over the past six decades or so.”
