too bad it's the last 200 planes boeing will ever sell into asia....

All the tech to make them are being transferred to China.

Sayonara Boeing!

The story didn't tell if they are going to be built in the US, good point above.

Well, since most of the counterfeit parts are made there it makes sense.

I doubt that all of the work will be done in Washington state. I would guess major subcomponents especially those of the 737s will be done in China. Probably all of the 777s will be done here in the US.

Most of the 737 work is in Witchita, Kansas, not Seattle. The new 787 line is opening in South Carolina, not Seattle. It was driven out of the state by our clueless liberal politicians.
