China’s Ministry of Commerce confirmed a 200-aircraft order for Boeing on May 21, 2026.
The acquisition serves as a key component of a broader trade understanding between the United States and China. This confirmation follows high-level trade negotiations and recent comments from U.S. President Donald Trump.
The agreement represents one of the largest aviation procurement deals between the two nations in recent years. Boeing’s stock price fell temporarily last week when the 200-plane figure was first disclosed. Investors reportedly anticipated a larger order, causing the initial market disappointment.
