BREAKING: China Turns Away $55M Boeing Jet — Sends It Back to the U.S. as Trade War Flares Up

A brand-new Boeing 737 MAX, destined for Xiamen Airlines, has been sent packing — rerouted back to Seattle after China abruptly rejected the delivery. The reason? Sky-high tariffs and a reignited trade war.

Here’s the story:

The jet was priced at $55 million.

New tariffs would’ve doubled the cost to over $110 million.

China said “no thanks.” The plane made pit stops in Guam and Hawaii before landing back in the U.S.

Behind the tension:

The U.S. slapped up to 145% tariffs on Chinese imports.

China hit back with 125% tariffs on American exports — aircraft included.

Boeing is now collateral damage in a growing economic standoff.

What it means:

Trade tensions turn real: Not just talk — deals are falling apart.

Boeing’s China plans in jeopardy: A major market now in question.

Airbus stands to gain: Europe might scoop up the lost business.

Turbulence ahead: Aviation and other global industries brace for impact.

Bottom Line:

This isn’t just a plane getting rerouted — it’s a wake-up call.

The U.S.-China trade war is back on, and the fallout is only beginning.
