Bloomberg reported today, citing informed sources, that Boeing is approaching an agreement with Chinese authorities for an order of 500 Boeing 737 Max jet aircraft, which will be announced during President Trump's visit to Beijing in late March.
Comments: This large order of 500 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft is currently only a piece of information released by American media, and has not been officially confirmed. Such "informed sources" information released at critical moments essentially carries a strong flavor of promotion and game-playing — it may be intended to ease bilateral trade tensions, or it could be a way for the U.S. to leak information in advance to gain negotiation leverage. In the current highly sensitive Sino-U.S. relations, unannounced large orders are not considered valid, and whether they can be finalized depends on the overall development of bilateral relations and the exchange of negotiation levers.
