China has ordered its airlines not to take any further deliveries of Boeing Co. jets as part of the tit-for-tat trade war that’s seen US President Donald Trump levy tariffs of as high as 145% on Chinese goods, according to people familiar with the matter.

Beijing has also asked that Chinese carriers halt any purchases of aircraft-related equipment and parts from US companies, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing matters that are private.

The order came after China unveiled retaliatory tariffs of 125% on American goods this past weekend, the people said. Those levies on their own would have more than doubled the cost of US-made aircraft and parts, making it impractical for Chinese airlines to accept Boeing planes.

Shares of the US planemaker slid as much as 4.6% in premarket trading after Bloomberg News reported on the Chinese move. Through Monday, Boeing shares had declined 10% this year.

2. Texas Instruments has declined more than twenty per cent

It wouldn‘t surprise me to hear that a few discreet cries for help from Congressional Republicans have helped prompt Trump to discover a certain willingness to loosen up on some electronics.

The dollar has declined 10% against the Euro in two months, too. This battle over items like airplanes will not ease tensions in that area, either.

3. Are we winning yet?

Doesn’t seem like it.

China is one of Boeing’s largest markets for new aircraft … or was.

4. Other countries should do the same.

All countries currently negotiating with the US should declare a 90-day suspension on accepting deliveries from Boeing.

That might get some attention.
