China ordered to stop Boeing Jet delivery as the trade war with America intensifies

Amidst the ongoing trade struggle with the United States, China has asked its airlines not to take any other delivery of Boeing cum aircraft, Bloomberg said. The move follows US President Donald Trump’s decision to implement tariffs up to 145 percent on Chinese goods.
The Chinese carriers have also been asked to stop the aircraft -related equipment and parts from purchasing parts, the sources have been asked by Bloomberg.
The order came after China announced a ventilative tariff of 125 percent on American goods in the weekend. These new tariffs will be more than double the cost of the US -made aircraft and parts, making it difficult for Chinese airlines to continue to accept Boeing aircraft.
Bloomberg’s report quoted sources as saying that China is also looking at ways to help Boeing Jets lease airlines and is now facing high expenses due to tariffs.
The trade struggle between the US and China has placed Boeing in a difficult position. The situation is uncertain and can change. President Trump has reversed some tariffs in the past, including Apple Inc. The iphones were imported from China.
One of the largest markets for the sale of standoff aircraft is another challenge for Boeing.
China is expected to be 20 percent of the global aircraft demand over the next 20 years. Bloomberg’s report said that in 2018, about 25 percent of Boeing aircraft reached China. However, Boeing has not announced any new orders from China in recent years, mainly due to trade stress and internal problems.
China was the first country of 737 Max in 2019 after two deadly accidents in 2019. Trade disagreements during both Trump and Biden administration have also inspired China to move more purchases of their aircraft in an European manufacturer Airbus SE. In 2024, Boeing faced another issue when a door plug closed during a flight in January, which led to more concerns about quality.
The situation also shows that China still depends on foreign companies to meet the growing requirement of passenger aircraft.
