NEW 737’s or refurbished?

Boeing opened up a new line in China last year, did it not?

Maybe not all airframe stuff, but a huge line for airframe production

It was 10 years ago that Pratt people complained that 20% of all civilian work was done overseas, now it is literally 80% of all Civilian AND Military engine work is overseas

If Obamanazi tried to stimulate the economy through defense spending, there will no way be the economic response that FDR had, not in any way, shape or form

NO. They do build us parts, but not what we call the “tube” or body section. For[some] Boeing models China builds horizontal stabilizers, vertical fins, the aft tail section,and wing-to-body fairing panels. This web site shows a color coded breakdown of what is supplied by China.
