America is baffled! Even if America wants to sell us, including high-tech products, we no longer want them! On April 15th, Russian media cited Bloomberg as reporting that due to the trade war, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese goods. After the escalation of the tariff war, China has instructed its airlines not to accept supplies from Boeing. Sources said that the Chinese government also requested that Chinese airlines stop purchasing any aircraft equipment and components from American companies.
Clearly, this directive by China has left America quite baffled. Why do we say this? Because we have retaliated against America, and in theory, after our retaliation, we should just treat American suppliers according to the new tariffs. However, what America didn't expect was that not only did our counter-tariff measures show no sign of easing, but we unilaterally required our airlines not to purchase Boeing equipment and components, which is undoubtedly a double blow to America.
Certainly, this directive has completely blocked the door for Boeing to sell to us. Our ability to do this indicates what? It naturally shows that we are well-prepared for the trade war and have full confidence. Because we already have ways to solve American high-tech products and related components. Without a doubt, the market vacated by Boeing can be partially filled by Airbus, and our C919 large aircraft can fill the gap, while the under-development C929 will further fill the void left by Boeing.
