"China has reportedly ordered its airlines not to take any further deliveries
of Boeing jets, the latest move in its tit-for-tat trade war with the US.
The Chinese government has asked carriers to stop purchases of aircraft-related
equipment and parts from American companies, according to a
Bloomberg News
article, which cited people familiar with the matter.
The order was reported to have come after the country raised its retaliatory
tariffs on US goods to 125% on Friday in response to Donald Trump’s levies on
Chinese imports totalling 145%. Beijing was also said to be considering ways to
support airlines that lease Boeing jets and are facing higher costs.
About 10 Boeing 737 Max jets are being prepared to join Chinese airlines, and
if delivery paperwork and payment on some of them were completed before Chinese
”reciprocal” tariffs came into effect, the planes may be allowed to enter the
country, sources told
Bloomberg.
The restriction marks a serious blow for Boeing and other manufacturers trying
to navigate the escalating trade war between the world’s two biggest
economies."
