U.S. rejects linking of plane orders to software sanctions

Article Abstract:

China's offer to purchase 30 commercial jets from Boeing Co. and 20 from McDonnell Douglas Corp. in exchange for delaying the sanctions against it for failing to protect US intellectual property rights has been rejected by the US. However, the US has refused to confirm whether it will pursue its plan to impose $2 billion in trade sanctions against China. Experts believe that the aircraft deals would test US' priorities.

Deal to buy Boeing jets is put on hold

Article Abstract:

It is unclear whether an order for over 30 Boeing Co. 737 New Generation planes in China will go through after the Hainan incident, in which a U.S. spy plane collided with a Chinese interceptor, causing political turmoil between the two countries. China is considered the world's second largest market for airplanes, and Boeing Co. wants to maintain access to this growing market.
