      China reportedly asked its airlines to halt Boeing orders, which has put the aircraft manufacturer in the middle of the U.S.’s trade war with China. Boeing, a major U.S. company, relies heavily on international orders, and CEO Kelly Ortberg has advocated for continued free trade.
      China’s ban on Boeing deliveries amid an ongoing tariff battle with the U.S. has thrust the American aircraft manufacturer into the middle of the trade war.

      China ordered its carriers to stop all aircraft orders from Boeing, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter. It’s the latest move in a trade war stemming from Trump’s up to 145% tax on goods from China. Beijing has also reportedly told Chinese airlines to no longer purchase airplane parts or equipment from U.S. firms.

        File this under “Trump as a cultural phenomenon,” I guess. Just some online e-commerce platform researcher’s observations on how China’s e-commerce people view Trump:

        https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/opinion/trump-tariffs-china-ecommerce.html

        In China, one of many nicknames for President Trump is Chuan Jianguo. It literally translates as “Trump the Nation Builder.” … The joke is that Mr. Trump … is diligently advancing Chinese interests by causing chaos in the United States.

        So perhaps it makes sense that so many Shenzhen merchants seem to admire Mr. Trump as a businessman, if not as a leader. Their affection, as I understand it, is complicated, as their admiration is now tempered with upset at his new tariff regime. ... But many share a sense that, however painful they may be in the short term, the tariffs will eventually spur China to assume its rightful place as the world’s leader and the beacon of a new phase of globalization that’s no longer centered on America.

        And then there is this:

        On Taobao, a Chinese domestic e-commerce platform, you can buy a ceramic statue of Mr. Trump to bring good luck to your business.

        Search for “xitian dongfo trump” if you want to find one on Amazon. Though the versions on Amazon would more likely be resin rather than ceramic.
