China Orders Boeing Jet Delivery Halt as Trade War Expands

China has ordered its airlines not to take any further deliveries of Boeing Co. jets as part of the tit-for-tat trade war that’s seen US President Donald Trump levy tariffs of as high as 145% on Chinese goods, according to people familiar with the matter.

Beijing has also requested that Chinese carriers halt any purchases of aircraft-related equipment and parts from US companies, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing matters that are private.

The order came after China unveiled retaliatory tariffs of 125% on American goods this past weekend, the people said. Those levies on their own would have more than doubled the cost of US-made aircraft and parts, making it impractical for Chinese airlines to accept Boeing planes.

Doesn’t hurt the US. Lots countries wants reliable airplanes like Boeing.

[quantumchang]

Why does China need Boeing jets when they've got their own C919? Save money and use your own. American products are a rip-off and unsafe.

Personal drones replace aircraft and airports 😅

BOEING JUST GOT LEVEL 5th HORRIBLE SUPER TORNADO 🙄

The CCP and Mexico thought that they could keep dumping fentanyl into the United States without consequences. Neither of these bad players can win on an even playing field. The Mexican border needs to be readjusted. The Yucatan and Baja California peninsulas both have active separatist movements, Guatemala would like Chiapas returned to it, and the addition of northwestern Sonora to Arizona would give our state access to the Pacific Ocean and desalinated water. The land could be gifted to families of the victims of fentanyl poisoning.

No worries, Boeing has a $5.2 billion deal for 25 F-15 next-gen fighter jets as part of the US aid package to Israel

[lawts]

It would probably just drop out of the sky anyway judging by recent events!

Air Bus, THE quality engineered choice from Europe. 👍😁👍

[Andrew-wxv]

What happens when they need parts for their existing fleet? Which, btw, includes XI’s personal jet.
Posturing is not a response of the serious, this is just another desperate response for public consumption to elicit emotion.
Judging by the comments, well done ccp.

[WayneWright-cj]

WAY To Go AIRBUS, , you will pick Up the Market, , Trump Creating JOBS alright for everybody Else

They can start using their own, just ignore the huge failure rate of Chinese made airliners.
