Social Comment: Boeing "disappointment"?This is not China

Author:Global Times Time:2022.07.03

After the three major airlines in China announced on July 1, after the order of 292 civil airliners to order Airbus, American public opinion seemed "sour". This order with a total amount of more than $ 37 billion is said to be one of the biggest orders in the history of Airbus. Bloomberg said that this "the signal issued by China has caused great harm to Boeing." Boeing said "disappointment", complaining that the "geopolitical differences" of the United States and China have damaged the company's business prospects and urged the United States and China to make dialogue.

If you think that "political thought" is hidden behind each order signed by Chinese companies and other countries, this can only show that Washington has been using politics in recent years to force economic and trade. The atmosphere of "grass and trees" was formed.

In fact, aviation cooperation has always been one of the "old three pieces" of the China -Europe Economic and Trade cooperation. Airbus has also built a general assembly plant in China. The cooperation between the two parties is stable and mature. Continue to promote cooperation is not worth a fuss. Some analysts believe that this large order should be a result of cooperation achieved by the "long and arduous negotiations". The collective ordering of the three major aviation companies can get better prices. In addition, the fuel efficiency of Airbus aircraft and the decline in euro exchange rates may also be influencing. In short, this is a normal business exchanges that cannot be accused, and the results are equal and reciprocal.

Losing in the competition with Airbus, the United States naturally became sour. From the perspective of the global market, since 2019, Airbus has comprehensively leading Boeing in terms of competing passenger orders and market share. This is because the hidden safety hazards of the Boeing 737mAX models have not yet been completely resolved in the recurrence of various countries. On the other hand, the domestic supply chain chaos in the United States has also affected Boeing's delivery capabilities. The production of 737 passenger planes was suspended. It is reported that a Chinese airline company canceled the plan to purchase more than 100 aircraft from Boeing this year this year because it was "uncertainty to delivery."

In this context, instead of analyzing the "motivation" of Chinese companies, it is better to reflect on the behavior of the US government. I would like to ask, a country that hung "decoupled" to the mouth, lifts the sanction sticks in his hands, and often has no choice but to introduce trade restriction regulations. Products with long use cycle, complicated parts, and strong professionalism in the later period? This kind of concern is not even a national behavior, but a political risk that various commercial groups will consider before doing business.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has previously made an assessment. If the United States is “decoupled” with China and fully cut off sales in the field of civil aviation, it will cause the United States to lose 38 billion to 51 billion US dollars per year and 167,000 to 225,000 jobs. Boeing also made predictions last year. In the next 20 years, China will need 8,700 new aircraft, with a total value of nearly 1.5 trillion US dollars. If the loss of more than $ 37 billion in orders now makes Boeing feel pain, then let some American politicians continue to break off the chain of China and build a variety of drum noise and manipulation of high walls, including Boeing Company, including Boeing Company, including Boeing Company U.S. companies are facing short pains but long pain.

Now, Boeing complains that "geopolitical differences" have affected their business, but it does not rely on China. If there are any political factors in it, it can only be said that the United States has a self -reflex of the political and trade issues. In 2021, the Bayeng government agreed to put on the 17 -year subsidy dispute between Boeing and Airbus, to win European countries to "fight against China." Today, after Airbus has won orders from Chinese airlines, American public opinion has begun to flood. This may remind Europe, what is behind the "doctrine" of the United States' lips, and this can also remind Washington that political manipulation cannot overcome the market law.

As for Boeing, the most thing that should be done is not to express "disappointment" towards China, but on the basis of improving its own product competitiveness, the principles of market laws are talked with the US government and Congress. Of course, it should be done, just Boeing?
