Esi sivumelwano siza kunciphisa izohlwayo zase-US kwi-China, kwaye iBeijing iya kunyusa ukuthengwa kweemveliso zasefama zase-US kunye nezinye iimpahla. iBoeing Umongameli kunye ne-CEO uDave Calhoun ukhuphe le ngxelo ilandelayo malunga nesibhengezo namhlanje sesivumelwano sorhwebo sase-US-China:
"I-Boeing inobudlelwane obude kunye ne-China obuthatha phantse iminyaka engama-50. Siyazingca ukuba iinqwelomoya ze-Boeing ziya kuqhubeka ukuba yinxalenye yolu budlelwane buxatyisiweyo, obuthe baphembelela ukwenziwa kwezinto ezintsha kwi-aerospace kunye nokugcina imisebenzi yokuvelisa.
"UBoeing uqhwabela izandla uMongameli uTrump kunye noXi kunye noSekela Nkulumbuso uLiu, unobhala u-Mnuchin kunye noNozakuzaku uLighthizer ngobunkokeli babo ekwakheni ubudlelwane obunobulungisa nobunenzuzo phakathi kwe-United States ne-China."
Ngaphantsi kwesi sigaba sokuqala, ulawulo lwase-US lwehlisa izicwangciso zokumisela imirhumo kwi-160 yeebhiliyoni ezongezelelweyo zeedola ezisuka kwamanye amazwe. Iphinde yanciphisa ngesiqingatha imirhumo ekhoyo kwi-110 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zeempahla ezivela e-China.
Ngokwenxalenye yayo, i-China yavuma ukuthenga i-40 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka kwiimveliso zasefama zase-US. I-China ayizange ingenise ngaphezu kwe-26 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka kwiimveliso zezolimo zase-US. Isivumelwano, nangona kunjalo, siyayishiya imirhumo malunga ne-360 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ekungenisweni ngaphandle kweTshayina.
Iimarike ze-stock yase-Asia ziphantsi kakhulu namhlanje, ngoLwesithathu, njengoko abatyali-mali belindele ukusayinwa kwesivumelwano. Kwaxelwa nguBloomberg ukuba nangona kusayinwe isivumelwano sokurhweba, iirhafu kwiibhiliyoni zeedola zeempahla zaseTshayina zinokuthi zihlale zikhona de kube emva konyulo lukamongameli wase-US ngoNovemba.
Phambi kokutyikitywa kweSivumelwano soRhwebo seSigaba sokuQala, isitokhwe seDelta Air Lines sinyuke emva kokuxela inzuzo yekota yesine yoqikelelo oluphezulu njengoko ifumene abathengi abasuka kwezinye iinqwelomoya ezithintelwe kukurhoxiswa kwe-737 Max.
