It is the Airbus "Wing Cooperation Agreement" with China that most worries workers at the UK wing plant at Broughton in North Wales. For the time being, Broughton is still "Big Brother". The Chinese parts are sent back to Wales for refinement – a costly way to do business. Under the next phase, the Chinese wing parts will never leave Asia. They will be equipped and tested in Tianjin instead.
Mr Enders is brutally honest. "The UK is the supplier of wings for the Airbus family but that doesn't mean the Chinese can't build a good wing. As long as the UK maintains competitive working conditions, Wales is OK," he said.
