Boeing is in advanced talks to sell as many as 500 aircraft to China, in what could become one of the largest commercial deals between the two countries in years. People familiar with the discussions said the potential agreement may be tied to a broader trade arrangement between Washington and Beijing, as both sides seek to ease tensions over tariffs and technology.
If finalized, the deal could mark a significant comeback for Boeing in the Chinese market, where rival Airbus has recently secured major contracts. Industry analysts note that China represents a critical growth opportunity for global aviation, with demand for thousands of new aircraft projected over the next two decades.
Neither Boeing nor Chinese officials confirmed details of the talks. However, U.S. trade representatives have indicated that commercial aviation could play a central role in upcoming negotiations with Beijing.
