United Morning Post reported today (September 7): "US President Trump reminded China that Washington has strong leverage over Beijing on aircraft parts, while Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Manturov said that Russia is ready to supply components for wide-body aircraft to China, including composite material wings and heavy-duty engines."
Comments: Trump threatened China with aircraft parts, trying to force China to provide rare earth magnets in the trade dispute. This behavior of Trump not only disrupts the normal trade order, but also further damages Boeing's image and trust base in the Chinese market. In the foreseeable future, as the domestically produced C919 gradually goes into service, and the subsequent development of C929 progresses, plus the alternative supply from Airbus, the trend of China reducing the purchase of Boeing aircraft will become more pronounced.
Meanwhile, Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Manturov stated that Russia is prepared to supply components for wide-body aircraft to China, including composite material wings and heavy-duty engines. This shows the deepening of Sino-Russian cooperation in the aviation sector, which helps reduce China's reliance on US aircraft parts, and at the same time strengthens the strategic partnership between China and Russia. In addition, this also indicates that under the tense Sino-US relations, China is strengthening cooperation with other countries to cope with external pressure and safeguard its own development interests.
