This is far more than just a door falling off, China is really wanting to sell planes to the US and knocking Boeing down is a big part of that.
With the Biden administration pushing for it, and knowing Trump would instantly fight it tooth and nail, this is an orchestrated smear campaign lately against them for every single thing they can use.

Now the FBI and DOJ is weighing in on it as well -

Boeing has no choice on DEI. The US gov’t backs up the need and if Boeing wants gov’t contracts, they better play ball.

The more that our corporations depend on the graciousness of gov’t, the more of this will happen.

Tyson has always been deeply involved with the Politburo Leaders (the Clintons) which is explains their recent hiring actions.

That’s not how aerospace works. Airlines aren’t alike Wal-Mart shoppers.

The self-damage of Boeing will benefit Airbus, not the Chinese.

There’s no doubt that China is exploiting this situation to their benefit, and the idiot media here in the U.S. have certainly been spotlighting a number of normal operational events that occur everyday in aviation since the door plug incident (that’s what they always do). However, Boeing does have a very real and very serious problem.

The MCAS debacle was beyond belief. The tragic end of two aircraft and their passengers occurred not because of one bad decision by Boeing, but rather because of a whole string of bad decisions (often called the “Swiss cheese model” in aviation). They never should have tried to shoehorn engines that were too large for the airframe onto the 737. That poor decision created an aircraft that was unstable in pitch during turns, and rather than acknowledge that, scrap the retrofit idea, and start on an entirely new design, they decided to paper over the flaw with a Rube Goldberg-esque piece of software. Then, to avoid having to recertify the aircraft, they decided to not put any description of how the software worked in the Aircraft Flight Manual.

That whole sequence of terrible decisions indicated that today’s version of Boeing is no longer the engineering-driven creator of excellence that it once was, but instead is just another stock price and bottom line first corporation that will cut corners at any opportunity. That’s one thing when you’re manufacturing plastic junk in China, but is something else entirely when you’re building extremely complex machines intended to carry people miles above the Earth at hundreds of miles per hour. The old Boeing knew that well, but this new-age version seems to prioritize everything other than excellence.
