And it signaled that a substantial amount of work on the plane will be subcontracted to China.

Within 10 years China will be the loan superpower and the US will be another Euro-Weenie-PC-Immigrant Infested-Welfare Dependant has been.

Boeing is getting some of that Wal-Mart money back into the US.

Boeing to fly high in China with sale of 60 wide-body jets to be modified into ICMB and Cruise-missile 'rack' airborn launchers?

Does anyone know what sort of actual development will take place in China? I googled around but could not find any real information. Anyone in the know?

How is Boeing selling out? Are they free to build planes and sell them or not?

[Jeff Head]

The 787s being sold to China, properly configured and revised, would make one heck of a long range maritime patrol aircraft.

If the PRC helps build and construct them, they will be, at some future date, in an excellent position to make such a change...to our detriment.

Boeing is proposing just such a conversion with the less capable 737, updating them to a MMA (Multi-Mission Maritimae Patrol Aircraft) configuration to replace the aging P3C fleet of aircraft. (Which by the way, looks like a great idea for us) So they are fully aware of the possibility. Here are some pics of Boeing's proposed MMA for the US Navy using the 737.

Check out Crichton's book
Airframe. Deals like this involve
big time transfer of

technology and
jobs. We need to wait and see
the "little" details.

I'd think they could build their own planes after all the tech info Clinton gave them.

From GE News Release
GE Power Systems has been working with Chinese suppliers to localize gas turbine manufacturing capabilities and to expand sourcing volume to serve its global customers. Its purchase of components and parts from Chinese suppliers exceeded USD 70 million in 2001 and the number is growing.


GE signed a deal with China that they build a plant in China and give them the technology. This is what Boeing is doing. We are giving away all of our tecnology. The freetraders do not care if the US is the worlds technology leader. As long as they can buy a $10 DVD player they are happy.

Can I sue you?

I am proud to work for the government.

GM is doing the same. Yes, the Chinese are raping American capitalism and will use the proceeds to arm themselves and provoke the USA.

China did the same thing with cars.

Now there is a chinese car whose parts are exact size matches for ford products.

China will make "fake" parts which are identical to boeing.

This is a security issue. The airline parts should not be contract out from overseas.

This is clinton selling secrets all over again.

The state department hacks screwing the USA yet again.

We're building the president's new helicopters in Amarillo...23 of em. Bell got the contract.......

I don't disagree with your suppositions as to China's intentions or where we are headed. Does Boeing deserve the blame? I was greatly peeved that Republicans spearheaded the push to give China MFN status. We are definitely headed the Euro-weenie way but I don't think that it is a foregone conclusion that China will become a superpower. They have many internal obstacles to overcome yet. If China supercedes us it won't be as much on their merits as on our failures.

I was just getting fired up about Crichton's new book State of Fear after reading a review in Human Events. Apparently he likes to back up his works with extensive research. They're still just fiction though. No one's revived any dinosaurs yet.

To prevent duplication, do not alter the heading. Thanks.

Right on. I knew there was something else to this story when it came out earlier this week.

Now we just have to wait for the token free traitor who will tell us airliners are buggy whips. Of course they have been telling us the same thing about TV's, but people have been paying thousands of dollars for a high tech plasma TV. The free traitors are so disconnected from reality, they really should be kept in mental wards.
