China rescinds halt on Boeing aircraft deliveries
Breaking news, y'all! After the dust settles from the Zoll dispute between the USA and China, China has green-lit purchases of Boeing aircraft again. According to some insider info, certain anonymous sources spillin' the beans to Bloomberg, Chinese officials are informin' their domestic airlines and government agencies that they can start receiving Boeing planes again. The good ol' USA and China agreed on a 90-day truce and significantly lower tariffs, which seems to be the reason behind this move.
Boeing ain't sayin' much about it, and the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority hasn't responded to a request for comment. But let's not forget that China's a pretty big deal for Boeing - they account for about 10% of its commercial order book, and China's a growing aviation market. China had been goin' easy on Boeing by exemptin' some aircraft parts from tariffs, but China's a tough negotiator, and they've been known to put a hold on things when they're not satisfied.
In 2019, China was the first country to ground the 737 Max after two fatal crashes, but it looks like things are startin' to look up now. In 218, nearly a quarter of Boeing's production was sold in China, but things kinda went south due to trade tensions and self-inflicted problems. Trade disputes with the Biden and first Trump administrations didn't help either, and Chinese orders started focusin' on Boeing's European competitor, Airbus.
But this recent move signals a thaw in US-China relations, and it's a big boost for Boeing. There are around 50 jets still expected to be delivered to China this year, which means saved time, money, and a significant chunk of change for Boeing. It's all about negotiations, baby!
