  1. If they want to sell on the international market, they probably have to offer a low price, as the specs on this plane are not quite up to par, compared to A320 family and B373 family. But, it's a first effort, and with massive government support they can probably get a successful aircraft program up and running.

  2.  @bubuneowoo6161  "Please stop exposing your ignorance". Yes, the engine is the same, and still the aircraft is not up to par: Range is only 2300 nmi, compared to at least 4500 nmi on the A320 and B737. With approximately the same fuel capacity, it indicates that fuel consumption is higher per km flown, i.e. worse fuel economy. The shorter range means greater limitations on the routes available to this aircraft. For example, the C919 can fly from Beijing to Bangkok, but not to KL or Singapore. The A320 or the B737 can fly from Beijing to Singapore, Bali, and even all the way down to Darwin, Australia. In the other direction, the A320 and the B737 can fly from BJ all the way to Moscow and Helsinki, Finland. The C919 can only fly to Astana, Kazakhstan.
