    I’m kind of surprised they are flying them back. Should have been like “it’s sitting on the tarmac, keys in it. Come and get it, we aren’t paying.”

      If they are refusing to pay for them, leaving them there would be gifting them to those airlines. Boeing is owed money, not the other way around.

    Grinning because the Americans are getting a taste of their own medicine after snaking Australia away from a French submarine deal with AUKUS.

    Damn, that’s not fair. Boeing were doing their best to make their planes unbuyable with their absolute trash company culture resulting in tons of safety issues. They almost had it on their own and now the trade war madness is stealing their thunder.

    It’s like shooting a man that is about to jump off a cliff. Just let them cook. They got this.

      Trump: I’ll trade you a shitshow of stupidity and backstabbing friends while rivals watch me smear shit on my face and I blow my enemies. In exchange I burn my country to the ground for no reason.

      China: Deal

      Americans: Deal

      Russians: Deal

      Rest of the world: WTF!!! Ah, fuckit. Deal.

    If they are flying them back, they should pay the 145% tariff. After all it is China paying it, right?

      Yea, an area where the unintended consequences are actually going to push China domestically built airlines to be competitive with Airbus and Boeing, even if they lack the range and efficiency.
