  1. Nothing is impossible to break, it's just a matter of how much commitment whoever wants to break something they are willing to put into it. We should remember that the US and Boeing thought it was unlikely that Airbus would be a threat to them, that arrogance is what opens up the door to new rivals, basically, Boeing got greedy, didn't innovate as much and got complaisant, that allowed a rival to enter the market and eat market share from Boeing, which is what Airbus did. But for new rivals to enter, they will need deep pockets, the EU countries that formed Airbus have deep pockets which allowed it to happen, other countries like Japan and Canada tried to take them on but got outmuscled, China is the only credible one that could break the duopoly or if a group of countries around the world pool there resources into a project to rival them, in the case of China, they've got the resources, the economy, population to make it happen, now it's just a matter of getting the skills and having the political will to make it happen, but I think it's only a matter of time before China enter the arena. Another advantage is that the EU and US have a massive home-grown market to leverage when it comes to sales, it doesn't take much political pressure on companies to push them into purchasing one brand or another, the only one credible enough to be able to do the same is China, and we all know the government will put pressure on companies over there to buy home-grown plains, and this for me is the major advantage the EU, US and China have, which others will find difficult to replicate.
