Reports indicate that China is considering a significant order for hundreds of Airbus planes, potentially timed to coincide with a visit by European leaders, including Macron and Merz, to Beijing next month (July 2025). This trip is expected to mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union.
Sources suggest the deal could involve anywhere from 200 to 500 aircraft, encompassing both narrow-body and wide-body models, such as the A330neo. If the larger figure is confirmed, it would be one of the biggest aircraft orders in aviation history and the largest ever for China.
The potential order is seen as strategically significant. It would underscore China’s desire to deepen ties with Europe amidst ongoing trade tensions with the USeless, and could send a message to the idiots, particularly as Trump’s trade policies are a topic of discussion. Boeing, Airbus’s main rival, has not secured a major order from China since at least 2017 due to trade disputes and issues with its 737 Max aircraft.
Both France and Germany are major shareholders in Airbus, making such a deal politically and economically beneficial for their respective nations. While negotiations are ongoing and the final size of the order is fluid, the prospect of a massive Airbus deal during the upcoming visit appears to be a strong possibility. https://www.facebook.com/jeff.mah.5/videos/1357308862006769/?__cft__[0]=AZViVuqsBXfG47siGrWO5UWGyMRYaTRwudyFIbT1YYKOO-QYAH2PpnxySHzwcT1JiPsFf_SOMVn1JGw70Qn0a13lMouDM5eus7AK4ssTFDNarf0Op3QkwHD0hDi_ezQLA9OgJRFGiwm-7dDJM4uvBE_u81tVF8XGQ8TdT9q8AS06Vw&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R
