The delivery of Boeing passenger planes to Chinese airlines, which had been suspended due to the intensified U.S.-China tariff war, has resumed.
According to foreign media outlets including Bloomberg News on the 14th, U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing delivered a Boeing 787-9 wide-body aircraft to Chinese airline Xiamen Airlines (Juneyao Airlines) on that day.
The aircraft took off from Payne Field Airport in Seattle, U.S., the day before and headed to Shanghai Pudong International Airport in China. This aircraft delivery is the first since the tariff war intensified in early April.
Previously, after the Donald Trump administration imposed high reciprocal tariffs on China, Chinese airlines suspended the acquisition of U.S. Boeing aircraft from mid-month, following government directives.
It is interpreted that U.S. and China reached a 'ceasefire' agreement in the tariff war last month and suspended the imposition of high tariffs for 90 days, allowing Chinese airlines to receive Boeing aircraft.
Bloomberg interpreted, "The U.S. delivered its first aircraft to Chinese airlines after imposing tariffs (on China)," noting that it is a signal of reconciliation in the tariff war amid efforts by the U.S. and China to reduce tensions.
