Recently, Boeing has set its sights on China again. Reuters news agency said that Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun said that production of narrow-body jets would rise in the future and that he hoped that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken would be able to bring back "strong demand" from the Chinese market through exchanges with China. He hopes that Secretary of State Antony Blinken will bring back "strong demand" for aircraft from the Chinese market through his exchanges with China.


  Calhoun said that China has long been a target customer for Boeing and that the country's demand for aircraft is set to rise again as demand for air traffic increases, which continues to make Boeing bullish on the Chinese market. "We look forward to completing deliveries as soon as possible and, most importantly, hope to gain an even stronger sales path from the Chinese market." Back in September last year, Calhoun said that Boeing would begin to re-sell some aircraft designed specifically for Chinese customers.

  Media reports have pointed to studies by a number of companies around the world showing that the Chinese market is emerging as the world's largest aviation market and that orders from China are increasingly becoming key for aircraft manufacturers to capture share. As the world's two oldest aircraft manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus each have significant aircraft models that have been popular in the Chinese market for many years. But in the past year, Boeing's sales figures in China have been slightly more embarrassing than those of Airbus.


  Earlier, Darren Hulst, Boeing's vice president of commercial marketing, also said that global air travel had returned to 77 per cent of 2019 levels last December, and that this would climb rapidly to close to 90 per cent by the end of June as Chinese visitors return. "We will see where this is the key momentum, the driver of growth and recovery in 2023."
