The way I look at it, there really is no big secret to build a jet. But you need all the ingredients. For example - top notch aeronautical engineers. Lets see 10 years of university edu in the US + on the job training and you will churn out a pretty decent engineer. You could also just hire the engineers straight out of PW or RR.

Comac by working so closely with all the major players will get to know the technical staff very well. It is very possible that they start headhunting a whole team to help fine tune the jet. GE pays X Comac pays 2X. As simple as that.

That is precisely what Silicon Valley is doing. They just cream off all the brightest from India. India pays x, silicon Valley pays 2X + lifestyle - no caste system, kids get good opportunity.

Of course you need the market (China has that), you need the $$ (China has that) and you need the manufacturing supply chain from electronics to titanium to carbon fiber (China has that).

I think what is lacking - a BIG BIG problem is actual experience in designing an aircraft. But only way is to wade in and learn. I do not think the Chinese engineers are stupid. As they put the aircraft into their fleet they will learn very quickly.
