China must be held accountable! On April 25th, Trump claimed that Boeing should hold China accountable because China did not accept the planes that had been carefully manufactured and promised to purchase. This is just a small reflection of what China has done to America over the years. It is obvious that we refused to accept Boeing's planes, which made the US somewhat angry. Therefore, the US President stood up for Boeing to speak on its behalf.
Trump was indeed correct about one thing - Boeing does need to take responsibility. However, who exactly Boeing should hold accountable is worth reconsidering. Why doesn't China accept Boeing planes? The tariff on Boeing exports to China is as high as 125%. So why is the tariff on Boeing planes so high at 125%? Trump himself personally raised China's tariff to 145%. Therefore, if Boeing wants to pursue accountability, the first person it should hold responsible is US President Trump himself.
No Chinese company is willing to pay a 125% tariff to buy American planes. In fact, Boeing really hopes that China can continue to purchase Boeing planes. But this US President, who claims to help Boeing out of its operational difficulties, is making Boeing's situation even worse. Losing the huge Chinese market, Boeing will gradually fall behind Airbus in Europe in global competition. Facing the special "care" from the US President, Boeing is like someone eating bitter melon in silence, suffering but unable to speak up.
