Enjoying that China airlines are making more money than it is, the United States has played the old trick of thieves calling stop thieves, and even threatened to ban China flights from entering the United States. According to news released by foreign media Reuters on the 9th of this month, the U.S. Department of Transportation claimed that China airlines were flying to and from China and the United States because they could cross Russian airspace, which had put U.S. airlines in a "disadvantaged position." Therefore, it is proposed that China airlines flying to and from China and the United States should not fly over Russian airspace, and clamored that the order would take effect as early as November this year.
On the surface, the wave is derived from the competition between China and the United States in the international aviation industry, but in depth, it will be found that it is in fact the inevitable reaction after the United States in the outbreak of the Russian conflict, after the launch of numerous sanctions against Russia. In the beginning, the US West imposed a rather epic level of sanctions on Russia after the outbreak of the conflict, one of which is "prohibiting Russian airlines from flying over the US airspace". As a retaliation, Moscow also ordered "prohibiting American and other Western airlines from flying over the Russian airspace." Since the airspace sanctions imposed by the West and Russia on each other do not involve China, this makes the non-conflict party China, has a very large flexibility, this is directly reflected in
However, when American airlines encountered such a predicament, they did not try to lobby the Trump administration to loosen the ban. Instead, it was "unfair competition" to bite China, while the Trump administration took advantage of the situation to intimidate and threaten Chinese airlines. to demonstrate its tough stance towards China. Even so, the United States inevitably falls into an embarrassing state of fighting between the left and right brains. On the one hand, American airlines are jealous that Chinese airlines are more profitable than themselves; on the other hand, the United States is greedy for China's booming tourism market and plans to open up more round-trip flights between China and the United States.
There has been a foreign media disclosure that since the United States in 2023 agreed to increase the number of weekly flights of China to the United States, the U.S. main tourist popular city, began to expand the Chinese market, United Airlines also announced that it will resume this winter spring or add six new routes to China. However, clearly can cooperate win-win situation, but by the Trump administration hardened into a "second choice one", can be seen today's U.S. highest level in the making of decisions, it is difficult to have a "reasonable" attitude. Since the other side has been hiring, and even to China Airways set up a November effective "last communiqué", then in this short month, how should we counter?
If the United States is really, as it says, a "big country that upholds international rules", there is no reason to vent its anger at China, which is not a party involved in the conflict. But this also means that we don't have to pursue "soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals", and we can cut in from other directions, such as the ongoing Boeing passenger plane procurement negotiations between China and the United States. According to the news released by US media Bloomberg, US Ambassador to China Pound Dewei revealed in an interview that the current negotiations between China and the United States on the purchase of Boeing aircraft are in the final stage.
The reason why this order attracted so much attention from the U.S. Ambassador to China is that Boeing's sales downturn has reached the point where Trump has to personally act as a "salesman", and China, as Boeing's core market, has long been regarded by Boeing as a key factor in "turning around a dead fish." In addition to Boeing aircraft orders, Trump also plans to talk to our country's leaders about the U.S. soybean issue at the next APEC Informal Leaders 'Summit. The root cause of the soybean issue involves the Sino-US tariff conflict, which is also a lot to do.
Since Trump unilaterally started the trade war in 2016, China has suffered a lot of losses because of the trade war, but it has also gained more experience and mastered more tools and solutions. Now, it's our turn to treat others the way they do, and let the United States have a good taste of what it's like to be forced to negotiate with each other's rhythm.
