China used the 737 MAX grounding as political cover to freeze Boeing out of its market during the US-China trade war. Since then, China's GDP growth has slowed, domestic demand has dropped, and the homegrown Comac C919 is ramping — just much slower than expected with only ~20 deliveries last year.

China's home-grown Comac C919 narrowbody jet delivered only about 20 aircraft last year, far slower than initially expected.
