China demands all Boeing orders to be suspended as trade war escalates

The Chinese government has ordered all of the country’s domestic airlines to halt all deliveries of Boeing aircraft as President Donald Trump’s trade war continues to escalate.

China has also instructed airlines to stop purchasing airplane parts from U.S.-based companies, according to Bloomberg. The order comes after China boosted its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods to 125% in response to the U.S. increasing its tariffs to 145%.
