The Boeing/Airbus cozy duopoly draws closer to its demise, so (to mix metaphors) it's definitely time to make hay while the sun shines and to offer the carrot rather than the stick. Especially since China itself is a massive aviation market where Boeing hopes to make huge sales in coming years.

Of course if Airbus take up the slack the Donald will be tweeting about sanctions against Europe at 3:00 am.

Flying on Russian / Chinese aircraft may cause a need to increase life insurance policies IMO.
