Watch out Boeing and Airbus (Sarcasm)!! The big boys don't need to worry until China learns to build their own airplanes, rather than re-engine and re-wing existing airplanes.
It is a bummer though that they are marketing what is essentially a DC-9 as a regional airplane.

Interesting stuff.
The ARJ 21 is built using tooling provided by McDonnell Douglas for licenses production of the MD-90. The ARJ21 has a strong resemblance to the DC-9 series aircraft with identical nose profile and cabin cross-section. The ARJ21 has a new supercritical wing fitted with winglets. It also features western avionics, a fly-by-wire flight control system, and General Electric engines. The initial variant will be the -700. Additional variants will include a stretched fuselage, extended range models, a cargo airplane, and a business jet variant.
Interesting stuff.
