If Boeing/Airbus can't meet demand...does COMAC then become an alternative?
I think the answer is at the bottom of the article linked above :
But the predominant view among aviation industry leaders attending Asia's biggest aviation gathering was that COMAC had a long road ahead to become a serious competitor and it would largely operate in China's domestic market in the near term.
​​​​​​​The C919 story reminds me a bit of the Sukhoi SSJ , also a good aircraft on paper. But they never broke the Bombardier-Embraer duopoly.
