Beijing pauses Boeing orders as trade war escalates
Briefly

The ongoing trade tensions between the US and China have led to significant repercussions in the aerospace industry, particularly affecting Boeing. Following the implementation of a hefty 145 percent tariff on Chinese goods by the US, China responded by directing its airlines to cease taking further Boeing jet deliveries. This move potentially enhances the competitive landscape for rival manufacturers such as Airbus and COMAC. The Chinese government is also considering support measures for airlines impacted by these rising costs, while Boeing's stock has reacted negatively compared to the uptick in Airbus shares.
In response to the US tariffs, China has instructed its airlines to halt further deliveries of Boeing jets, which significantly boosts competitiveness for Airbus and COMAC.
Chinese airlines had substantial orders for Boeing jets, but the government's directive to halt additional deliveries could shift the aerospace market more toward Airbus and domestic manufacturers.
