Recently, three well-known domestic airlines have issued announcements, stating that they have signed new purchase agreements with Airbus . China Southern Airlines , Air China and China Eastern Airlines will purchase 96, 96 and 100 aircraft respectively. . According to reports, the three airlines mainly purchased Airbus A320NEO series aircraft. The total amount of these 292 aircraft is as high as 37.2 billion US dollars (about 240 billion yuan). This is a rare large order for Airbus. This is the first large-scale purchase of new aircraft by our country's civil aviation companies in the past three years. It also sets a new record for the amount of cooperation between three domestic aviation groups and Airbus. After the news that the three major airlines signed nearly 300 Airbus aircraft came out, it instantly caused an uproar in the American public opinion circles. Boeing Company is Airbus’s only competitor in the world. After learning about this matter, Boeing bluntly said that it was very disappointed with and .
According to foreign media, Boeing stated in an email statement that the European government has already had a "constructive dialogue" with our country regarding this order. As a partner with whom we have cooperated for half a century, Boeing has lost a large order due to current geopolitical differences and a series of restrictive measures by the US government, which is very disappointing for it. After all, since the two air crashes that wiped out the entire army, Boeing has been developing more difficultly and lost many orders and opportunities, which undoubtedly makes it very uncomfortable. Boeing also reminded Biden in the statement that it must have "productive dialogue" with its opponents because trade between the two parties has allowed Boeing to create tens of thousands of jobs in the United States. Obviously, for Boeing, our country is absolutely an indispensable and important partner. If we lose this big customer, Boeing's development may be in trouble.
The big order signed by three domestic civil aviation groups and Airbus was after the leaders' summit of G7 group and NATO organization. This time point can be said to be very critical. Because whether it is the G7 summit or the NATO summit, our country is the focus of discussion, and they also unanimously identify our country as the object that "poses a systemic challenge to the West." However, in just the past few days, news has spread that our country has signed a large deal with Europe. It is obvious that the meaning of our move is to "kill two birds with one stone." First of all, the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is gradually being replaced by Western inflation and economic recession. Cooperation with Airbus will not only deepen the relationship between China and Europe, but also alienate the United States and Europe to a certain extent. relation. After all, turbulent global geopolitics will undoubtedly create a lot of uncertainty. If we remain stable as always, it will surely make European capital feel at ease, which will influence European decision-makers to re-evaluate China-EU and US-EU relations.
Secondly, due to the influence of pro-American forces within the EU , the China-EU Comprehensive Investment Agreement has not been successfully passed. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, many people have begun to denounce China-EU deepening economic and trade cooperation. This time our country has used a large order of over 30 billion US dollars to prove to European countries that our market is still full of sincerity and has enough energy to carry out more cooperation with the EU. It can be said that our cooperation with Airbus this time not only shows goodwill to the EU, but also reminds the EU whether to choose "cooperation or confrontation."
