I suggest the executives of Boeing read “The Art of the Deal” then maybe they can negotiate.

Iran obviously did since they got 80 airliners for only $16 billion..........

Yup-- 16 years ago 80% of the world's memory chips were made in the USA.

The Korean government gave billions to Samsung and other chaebol to copy and advance US technologies.

Now 80% of the memory chips are made in South Korea, within range of NK artillery.

The joys of "free trade."

If we were smart, we'g get together with the Europeans and tell China they only get the airliners with no transfer of technology.

Siemens thought they would have billions in locomotive sales to China, so they sold some engines and moved some manufacturing to China.

A few years later the Chinese started selling locomotives that were exact copies down to the millimeter.

What Trump is concerned about is China requiring Boeing to build manufacturing and engineering facilities in China, have China steal the designs and manufacturing techniques, set up its own aircraft manufacturing, and then undercut Boeing in the international market.

BINGO!!

And Boeing should be concerned too if they weren't so greedy.

Yep, I've believed for years that any factory an entity from an advanced economy sets up in China will eventually result in the Chinese copying the product and manufacturing process and going into business for themselves.

Exactly, that is what is required for Boeing to continue to sell to China.

A few years ago, a gauge company (making gauges for auto, marine and aircraft industries) wanted to build a plant in PRC, but the Chinese wanted to see the gauges, the Chinese decided not to let them build, but the Chinese made the gauges right down to the name (they added a letter and removed a letter).
