GE Aerospace Eyes More China Engine Orders as 200-Jet Boeing Proposal Reopens Sales

Summary
GE Aerospace said it expects more aircraft-engine orders from China after last month’s Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing helped restart commercial aircraft sales.
Larry Culp told Bloomberg TV that a Chinese proposal to buy 200 Boeing jets marked an important first step, with Boeing already bringing home an initial batch of commitments.
The potential orders matter because GE supplies engines tied to Boeing aircraft, making any reopening of Chinese jet purchases a direct sales opportunity for the company.
The comments signal GE sees improving U.S.-China aviation trade prospects, though the company pointed only to early commitments rather than finalized new engine deals.
