Li Jiaxiang is a prominent figure in China's civil aviation sector, known for his role as the head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. He played a crucial part in the development of China's domestic aircraft manufacturing capabilities, notably emphasizing the importance of having a large commercial aircraft to support China’s aspirations as a major aviation power. His statement in 2015, declaring that 'a great nation must have its own large commercial aircraft,' reflects the nationalistic drive behind projects like the Comac C919, aimed at reducing reliance on foreign aircraft manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus.
