Final assembly of the 737 airframes will remain in Renton, which employs about 12,000 people, about half of those production workers.
However, those jets destined for Chinese carriers — between a quarter and a third of all 737s built — will be flown empty to a new Chinese facility for installation of interiors, exterior painting, customer flight tests and delivery, according to the person familiar with the plan.
Such a deal would create Boeing’s most significant overseas commercial-aircraft venture, granting it new leverage in the world’s biggest aviation market.

Croney capitalism on display.
When American business talks about capitalism, it usually means free markets for everyone but itself.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
They're just finishing them, they're not getting our wing technology.
When Trump is president, gasoline will be 25 cents per gallon.

Do any of you actually THINK before you post?
China is already building its own passenger jets. Boeing and Airbus both want to stay relevant in the Asian market and this is one way.
This is no different than Toyota having assembly plants outside Japan.
To see this as a negative is the ultimate sign of STUPIDITY

instead of moving work to a non-union state, they move them to China...
