Deals inked: Boeing, Auto Big 3 are handful
In a buying spree aimed at easing trade tensions with the United States, China
signed contracts worth US$1.7 billion with Boeing and General Electric to buy
30 Boeing 737 planes.
Five Chinese airliners will get the 30 Boeings and GE will supply the engines.
In a related deal on Wednesday, China signed contracts with GE's Aircraft
Engines division to supply engines for a new regional aircraft China is
developing. The engines could be worth as much as US$3 billion over 20 years,
officials said.
The announcements follow earlier word that Detroit's Big Three automakers
have reached trade pacts with Chinese companies that will allow them to
export thousands of vehicles and increase their stakes in a growing
automotive market that eventually would become the world's largest.
The multi-billion dollar deals reflect a loosening of import restrictions by
the Chinese government as it is making concrete steps to balance the Sino-US
trade.
At the same time, automakers and other manufacturers are trying to increase
their presence in China, which this year is expected to pass Germany as the
world's third-largest vehicle market behind the United States and Japan.
China is the fastest-growing aviation market in the world and expects to open
as many as 100 airports over the next decade.
At a signing ceremony Wednesday at the U.S. Commerce Department, Commerce
Secretary Don Evans called the Boeing and GE deals landmark events in
US-China relations.
Evans noted that he met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao last month in
Beijing, where he said that China is expected to make a greater effort to
honour the market-opening commitments it made to gain entry into the World
Trade Organization.
``These latest commercial sales are a sign that China wants to build a
stronger trade relationship with the United States,'' Evans said. He called
the contracts a ``big victory'' for Boeing and GE, as well as the American
people ``and the people of China.''
Zhang Guobao, vice chairman of China's National Development and Reform
Commission said the airplane contracts would bring jobs to the United States
and help China meet a sharply growing demand in air travel.
But Zhang said the overall trade situation between China and the United
States is less than ideal and called on US officials to relax trade
restrictions against China that he called ``discriminatory and unnecessary.''
Zhang complained that the United States had canceled a satellite deal with US
manufacturers because of concerns that the technology could be used for
intercontinental missiles.
While American consumers benefit from low-cost shoes, toys, household
electronics and other goods made in China, high-end trade between the two
countries is still limited, Zhang said.
Evans did not directly address Zhang's remarks, but Tim Hauser, a deputy
trade undersecretary for the Commerce Department, said the remarks showed
that China is a true friend that can exchange frank remarks.
Under the Boeing deal, five Chinese airlines would receive 30 planes by 2006.
Air China would get five, Hainan Airlines would get eight; Shandong Airlines
seven; Shenzhen Airlines five; and Xiamen Airlines five.
The China deal is Boeing's second-largest commercial order this year. Boeing
also won approval Wednesday of a long-delayed deal for the US Air Force to
lease and buy 100 converted 767 jets as midair refueling tankers.
GE envisions a potential market of 500 ARJ-21 regional jets, a new aircraft
now under development and scheduled for flight-testing in 2006.

我非常喜欢在有风有雨的季节计划自己;
有风有雨后的季节晒着阳光我昏昏睡去;
睡去的我依然在甜梦中将曾有过的温习;
温习昨天前天等等的种种激情与过去。
