China Halts Boeing Orders, Escalating Trade War

China has ordered its airlines to halt all new Boeing aircraft orders and deliveries, marking a significant escalation of the trade war between China and the United States. The move follows US tariffs imposed under the Trump administration. 10 Boeing 737 Max aircraft are currently awaiting delivery in China, with the suspension impacting these orders and potentially others already in various stages of production. This action comes as uncertainty around US-China relations continues to affect commercial aviation.
