On April 20, according to a Reuters report, a Boeing aircraft originally planned for delivery to Xiamen Airlines of China landed at Boeing's production base in the United States.
This 737 MAX aircraft, which was supposed to be delivered to Xiamen Airlines of China, landed at Boeing Field in Seattle at 6:11 PM local time on the 19th. A Reuters eyewitness confirmed this information. The aircraft has already been painted in Xiamen Airlines' signature colors.
During its approximately 8,000-kilometer return journey, this aircraft refueled in Guam and Hawaii, and it is one of several 737 MAX aircraft waiting for final work at Boeing's Zhoushan Completion Center before being delivered to Chinese airlines.
This month, Trump raised the basic tariff on Chinese imports to 145%. In response, China imposed a 125% tariff on U.S. products. According to estimates by aviation consultancy IBA, the market value of a new 737 MAX is around $55 million. Against this backdrop, the receipt of Boeing aircraft by Chinese airlines will face severe economic burdens due to high tariffs.
You can raise tariffs, and I can return goods. It's simple and legal.
