A Boeing 737 Max was delivered to China, ending a nearly two-month halt on deliveries imposed during a trade dispute between Washington and Beijing.
China had stopped accepting Boeing aircraft in April in response to new U.S. tariffs, but lifted the ban in May as trade negotiations progressed.
While Boeing deliveries resume, a key point of contention remains the U.S. blocking the export of certain American aviation technology to China, which Beijing views as an attempt to hinder its domestic aircraft development.
A Boeing 737 Max landed in China on Monday, the first such transport after a trade clash between Washington and Beijing stopped deliveries for close to two months.
According to Reuters, the aircraft was flown from Seattle and landed at a Boeing facility outside Shanghai. It was painted with the colors and insignia of China’s Xiamen Airlines.
