No matter how they promote it, no matter how hard they work, I am not going to fly with this aircraft until it can complete 1 million safe landing. same applies to Boeing 787 and Airbus A380.

At least they went through numerous quality testing process.
On topic, are any international buyers for this Chinese aircraft? or it will be confined to domestic airliners only?

GE Capital Aviation Services of USA is buying, order have been placed.

In February 2011 Ryanair announced they were in discussions with Comac about purchasing the aircraft[16]. Ryanair will receive the last of the Boeing 737-800's from their current orders in 2012, and have no order placed thereafter. By this time they will have over 300 of this aircraft type. They withdrew from negotiations with Boeing and Airbus in 2009 as they were unhappy with the prices offered.
