In a dramatic escalation of the US-China trade spat, China has turned away a $55 million Boeing 737 MAX, refusing delivery due to steep new tariffs. Originally bound for Xiamen Airlines, the aircraft’s cost would have doubled to over $110 million after China slapped a 125% tariff on American jets.

Here’s the Fallout:

• Tariff Showdown: The U.S. hit Chinese goods with tariffs of up to 145%, and China fired back—hard—with 125% duties on U.S. aircraft and components.

• Boeing on the Brink: With roughly 10 Boeing 737 MAX jets still awaiting delivery to Chinese airlines, the stakes are high. China is Boeing’s second-largest market, and this standoff could derail the company’s post-crisis recovery.
