China to go ahead with high-profile air show in November

China's biggest airshow, which takes place every two years in the southern city of Zhuhai, rescinded a comment that the event was being canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition is due to take place from Nov. 10-15 and feature industry giants including Boeing. Reuters reported Wednesday that the show had been cancelled. A spokesman for the event confirmed that decision, but later walked back on the comment. The airshow's website still says it is taking place in November. The biennial show first took place in 1996 and is often used by China to showcase its vast array of military equipment. State-owned planemaker Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd., or Comac, is also generally a big participant.<br/>
