Boeing's High Stakes Gamble on China and Trump As President Donald Trump prepares to meet with Chinese leaders in Beijing, Boeing is pinning its comeback hopes on a familiar formula: leveraging its ties with China to drive growth.
The stakes couldn't be higher for the US planemaker, which has faced a series of setbacks, including the 737 MAX crisis and intensifying competition from Airbus.
Boeing's history with China dates back to 1972, when Richard Nixon's historic visit marked the beginning of a long term commercial relationship between the two countries.
