$BTC **đ¨ CHINA HITS BACK: Boeing Jet Deliveries HALTED as US-China Trade War Explodes!**
**đĽ The Latest Escalation:**
China has just ordered its airlines to **stop accepting Boeing jet deliveries** and halt purchases of U.S. aircraft parts in retaliation for Trumpâs **145% tariffs** on Chinese goods.

**đĽ Why This Matters:**
- **Boeingâs Nightmare:** China is Boeingâs **biggest growth market**, with forecasts predicting **8,830 new planes** needed over 20 years. Now, 10 ready-to-deliver **737 Max jets** are stuck in limbo.
- **Trade War Fallout:** This isnât just about planesâChina also **cut off rare earth metal exports** (critical for tech/defense) and is pushing airlines toward **Airbus** and homegrown **COMAC**.
- **Stock Shock:** Boeing shares **plunged 3%** premarket, adding to a **10% YTD drop**. The company, already struggling with **$51B in losses since 2018**, canât afford this blow.
