Looking at this move by the US aviation industry, I think it's worth the crypto community's consideration.

Here's the situation: the US just announced a suspension of core engine technology supplies to COMAC, aiming to use technology restrictions to exert pressure. What happened next? The domestic three major airlines immediately canceled 292 orders, and this countermeasure was executed with pinpoint accuracy. Basically, US aviation giants previously regarded the Chinese market as a stable long-term revenue pool, and didn't expect the market to respond so firmly.

GE Aviation has been operating in China for over forty years, with more than 7,700 engines in service and nearly 5,000 reserved orders. They built support centers in Shanghai, opened parts factories in Suzhou, and established quick repair bases in Lingang, practically moving the entire ecosystem into China. Boeing is even more extreme—China once accounted for a quarter of global deliveries, bringing in billions of dollars annually. The Zhoushan delivery center was originally intended as a long-term strategic asset, but now it’s just ignored and sidelined.

The essence of this situation is actually similar to the technical game in the crypto space: whoever controls the market's choice is the real kingmaker. These international giants made the mistake of treating technological advantage as eternal dominance, thinking that once others use their products, they are forever bound. But the reality is, when the market has alternatives, technological barriers can be broken in an instant. This is a warning to anyone relying on technological monopoly.
