CGTN published this video item, entitled “The Point: Airbus over Boeing” – below is their description.
Geopolitics over business merits? China’s biggest airlines sealed a deal with Airbus to buy almost 300 aircraft worth $37 billion. It’s China’s biggest aircraft order since COVID-19 dealt a huge blow to the travel industry. But the deal is being called a big disappointment by U.S. manufacturer Boeing, which called out geopolitical differences as a major constraint on U.S. aircraft exports. What do airplanes have to do with geopolitics? What does the deal say about the potential for the Chinese aviation industry?
