Reuters: US Allows GE to Resume Delivering Jet Engines to China's COMAC
Reuters, July 4 report: The U.S. government notified General Electric Aerospace (GE Aerospace) on Thursday that it allows the company to restart shipments of jet engines to China Commercial Aircraft Corporation (COMAC), which is seen as a sign of further easing in U.S.-China trade tensions; the specific engines involved include the LEAP-1C model used for COMAC's C919 single-aisle aircraft, and the CF34 model used for the C909 regional aircraft, which had been suspended for several weeks due to trade disputes. The spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce commented: "Dialogue and cooperation are the right path forward, while threats and coercion do not work," and called on the U.S. side to "continue moving towards China"; meanwhile, the U.S. also lifted export restrictions on chip design software developers and ethane producers this week, showing progress in bilateral trade negotiations, but GE, COMAC, and the U.S. Department of Commerce did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and another aviation supplier was also allowed to resume shipments, with the specific company not disclosed.
