CHINA HALTS BOEING ORDERS IN RETALIATION TO TRUMP’S TARIFFS
Beijing has officially ordered all Chinese airlines to freeze new Boeing aircraft orders and suspend the purchase of U.S.-made aviation parts, escalating its economic fight with Washington.
Why It Matters:
• This is China’s sharpest blow yet to U.S. aviation, targeting Boeing — America’s second-largest exporter.
• The move directly responds to Trump’s latest wave of tariffs, imposing up to 145% duties on Chinese goods.
• Boeing had over 179 outstanding jet orders from Chinese carriers — now all are in limbo.
What’s At Risk:
• Billions of dollars in U.S. aviation sales.
• The future of Boeing’s China-dependent supply chain.
• Increased reliance on Europe’s Airbus by Chinese airlines.
Trump’s trade war is no longer just about factories and goods — it’s now targeting the heart of American aerospace.
