In this international comment, Uncle Mu came to analyze the incident of Boeing's flight back to China.
A Boeing 737 Max landed in Zhoushan, Zhejiang at noon on June 9. This is the first time the plane has flew back to China in two months.
At the end of April, after Trump suddenly launched a tariff war, causing the Sino-US trade tensions to intensify, the passenger plane ordered by Xiamen Airlines was sent back to the Boeing factory in Seattle.
At the same time the Boeing passenger plane flew back to China, China and the United States held economic and trade negotiations in London that day.
Now that the results of the Sino-US negotiations have been achieved, Boeing's passenger plane flew back to China, which is still very symbolic, indicating that Boeing's expectations for Sino-US trade negotiations are still optimistic.
At the same time, Uncle Mu noticed that the journey back to China was quite interesting.
It's really been a long trans-Pacific journey, starting last Friday, the N230BE-registered flight from Seattle to Hawaii. It refueled another time in Guam on Saturday.
China is 16 hours ahead of Seattle, so although the plane first took off at around 10 a.m. local time on Friday, its journey took about 59 hours in total.
He said at the time that about 50 Chinese-ordered passenger planes would be resold to other airlines.
However, tariff tensions have eased since then, and China has given domestic airlines instructions to allow Boeing to continue deliveries.
This way, the Boeing passenger plane ordered by Xiamen Airlines flew back to China.
The reason is also very simple, Boeing cannot do without the Chinese market. Boeing said that China accounts for about 10% of its commercial aircraft orders.
Boeing planes are tossing and turbulently, and this incident can tell us a truth:
That is, neither Chinese nor American companies are willing to break down the negotiations, nor do they want to see the tariff war affect the fundamental interests of the two countries or the business cooperation between the two countries. Therefore, this is the logic that Boeing continues to be optimistic about the Chinese market.
But if Sino-US relations continue to deteriorate in the future, the risks of Chinese and American companies, including Boeing, may increase.
