Its bad when an industry dominated by two players has one of those players hurt and the market can't replace them.
You can't start a competitor to Boeing because it would cost over $100Bn, so the larger outcome is bad for aviation.
it is the best opportunity for a new maker to emerge and shake, if not break, the duopoly. Boeing for the years ahead wouldn't have a plane to replace 737 MAX while the market will be squeezed by Airbus.
If you're refering to the C series, that's now essentially a product provided by Airbus (under the A220 monikker).

Not viable. Not for the next couple decades. The reason is not that the Chinese are not able to build an airworthy plane in a few years time. The main problem will be the service offerings to an international clientele. Let's just say that China's pencheant for cutting corners is not conductive to trust into their service offerings, including the provision of critical spare parts.
The CR929? That thing? [0]
I think that if people are still complaining about Boeing's safety record and obfuscation when that goes into service, the'll start to relearn what real obfuscation looks like... (Russian airliners do not have the best safety reputation, to say the least)
I don't think that helps your case. I would expect a state-owned enterprise to be over-budget, especially if managers knew they had "what amounts to an unlimited budget".
