As you can read on the other threads, a Boeing plane would have been dependent on Chinese communist parts.

What percentage?

And why do you object to this?

Do you have issue with 48% of a plane being built by French Muslims?

In Boeing's own words:

"Boeing procurement from China is significantly greater than other aviation companies. In fact, Boeing is China's aviation manufacturing industry's largest foreign customer."

"China has an increasingly sophisticated and expanding part to play in the commercial aviation industry and has a role on all of Boeing commercial airplane models-737, 747, 767, 777 and the newest and most innovative airplane, the 787 Dreamliner."

"Since the 1980s, Boeing has purchased over US$1 billion in aviation hardware and services from China."

"With these new contracts signed in June 2007, Boeing and Boeing supplier partners have active supplier contracts with China aviation industry valued at well over US$2.5 billion (18 billion CNY)"

"There are 4500 Boeing airplanes with parts and assemblies built by China flying throughout the world today."
