@kline the bigger issue is the death of Boeing.

This is Americas *only* commercial entry of worth in modern international aerospace. It was a projection of soft power in itself for sixty years or more. Now its virtually blacklisted from international buyers and in the next six or seven years comac is going to eat it alive. Airbus is not only a superior product but has been for decades as well.

The US can't punish or reform Boeing meaningfully. The culture is rotten to the core and theres no incentive to comply.
