China Closes Airspace to foreign Russian Airbus and Boeing Aircraft
The Chinese Civil Aviation Authority (CAAC) has anounced it is closing its airspace to foreign owned Russian Boeing and Airbus aircraft… (www.aviationweekly.org) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I am surprised, and honestly, pleased that China is taking this stand. But, from a practical standpoint, as others have said here, you don't want planes that could break down in China. And you wouldn't want potentially unsafe aircraft flying in your airspace. Because they instantly become YOUR problem once they enter China.
Why be surprised , only normal unsafe aircraft or aircraft not following security standards not be allowed within a country . Chinese are not stupid, they may say yes when they mean no, but they will not put its population on unsafe aircraft.
This is China Communist Party shenanigans, outward intentions might be good but there will be some money grubbing reason they're doing this. Personal wealth is their only true agenda, honour is ignored.
China is doing this over safety concerns, and not to appease the U.S. or because they believe in Russian sanctions. I think most of you are aware of this, but some comments seem to miss the point.
This seems like a huge blow, at least symbolically. Russia views China as a key ally in its quest to create an alternative to the Western world order. There were already signs that China was hesitant to play that role for Russia.
It's a valid concern and Chinese probably don't want planes un airworthy to land and stuck in China.
Chinese aren't stupid and their long-standing policies regarding desputed territories is "you don't touch it and we won't touch it".
This is why Hong Kong SAR and Macow SAR will remain there until at least 2050s'. Neither can really stop Chinese forcefully take over like Taiwan, who technically still have a ongoing civil war with the communist party in Beijing.
Chinese economy relies on export and there are production machinery Chinese need only available in Japan, Europe and United States.

Since the current administration is undergoing a policy revision on imported Tariff taxes from China, I suspect it may be hand-in-hand with our Gvt and China demanding the tariff taxes be scaled back. Economists claim the previous administration created this economic downturn we are facing over those taxes. Still, considering that China never gave us high-quality goods, I can argue both sides of that coin.
