Good old American corporate capitalism. The greatest system ever. Also the greatest supporter of communism ever.

“Set up a completion center” in China?

So we’re going to give them our Aircraft industry as well?

[Bogey78O]

Aircraft work is one of the last major industries we are unmatched in. I guess that will soon end.

[FreeAtlanta]

That was my thought, too.

Short sighted. Corporate and National suicide.

[boycott]

Boeing would sell the nation down the river for a few more dollars.

Corrupt as can be.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Maybe they should start assembling F-22's and F-35's in China? It should bring the costs down and increase profits.

[Yo-Yo]

“Set up a completion center” in China?

So we’re going to give them our Aircraft industry as well?

Airbus already has a final assembly line in China, and I believe McDonnell Douglas also set up a final assembly line in China but it was killed with the Boeing merger.

[gaijin]

This was a huge, HUGE mistake.

Just wow.

[Little Pig]

I’ve tried wherever possible to stick to the “If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going” motto, but it looks like I’m going to have to add “except for the new narrow-body 737” after the word “Boeing”. I’ve seen the kind of assembly quality that Chinese machinery has, and I’m not about to trust airplanes they’ve built.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Short sighted. Corporate and National suicide.

But next quarter's bonuses will be paid on time. Local BMW dealers are thrilled.

Nothing new. We did this sort of thing more than 20 years ago with McD-D aircraft.

[stormer]

Planes finished in China are bound for the Chinese domestic market or other Asian carriers (with the exception of Japanese or Taiwanese). Unless you’re planning on flying domestic in China - which I have done on several occasions - you don’t have much to worry about.

[microgood]

I think they actually will fly the planes there from Renton and just paint and put the seats in them in China.

[lavaroise]

Market market market...

hauling paying livestock never made nobel prizes out of that livestock

[Will88]

Shukor said China was leveraging the rivalry between Boeing and Airbus to get the best of both worlds in developing its own aircraft manufacturing.

And stealing all the technology possible from both until China will have built its own commercial airliner manufacturing industry. Then, no more need for Boeing and Airbus.

[lavaroise]

We had a Chinese counterfeit problem in the Army, with soldiers having to parse through shady looking parts for the Boeing Apache, I cannot imagine flying Boeing even in the US, knowing contractors could get parts from these China plants or knock offs thereof. Very scary

[Paine in the Neck]

Good old American corporate capitalism. The greatest system ever. Also the greatest supporter of communism ever.

Yep. Henry Ford and friends rescued Lenin.

[SpaceBar]

Everybody needs to read this:

WALL STREET AND THE RISE OF HITLER

Our glorious captains of industry figure most if not all people with first-hand knowledge of the above are either dead or in a nursing home with dementia watching reruns of Matlock, so it's okay to do it again.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Problem is the Chinese are not very good at original design. They have to try to reverse engineer of steal technology. That makes for very questionable outcomes.
