A US lawmaker delegation visiting Beijing confirmed that China is likely to proceed with a significant Boeing deal for up to 500 commercial aircraft, saying negotiations are in “the final days or weeks”. “It’s a good company, good product, hope you get back to selling airplanes in China.”US Ambassador to China David Perdue described this as a “huge order” that is “very important to the president, Boeing, and China”. In August 2025, Bloomberg reported that Boeing was in talks with China over a possible order for up to 500 commercial aircraft. The United States and China had previously threatened tariffs exceeding 100% on each other’s products. In September 2025, the Trump administration reached a temporary tariff truce with China, agreeing to lower those tariffs to 10%.
