China: Deal inked for 70 Boeing 737 airliners
(Source : AP, November 20, 2005)
China has signed a deal to buy 70 Boeing 737 airliners with a catalog value of US$4b and will soon agree to purchase 80 more, the govt said Sunday during a visit to Beijing by US President George W. Bush. Beijing often announces large purchases of American airliners in connection with visits by US leaders in an effort to mollify Washington's frustration at China's surging trade surplus. The deal was announced by the official Xinhua News Agency as Bush met Sunday with Chinese President Hu Jintao. Xinhua gave only the catalog value of the planes and didn't say what Chinese carriers would pay for them. They are to be delivered between 2006 and 2008 to Chinese carriers Air China, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Hainan Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines, according to Xinhua. It said the planes were being bought on behalf of the airlines by a state-owned company that imports aircraft. That company 'will soon sign a nother purchase agreement with Boeing for 80 more B737 aircraft,' Xinhua said.
