Summary
The post speculates that Boeing and GE executives are traveling to China to finalize a 500-plane deal, including 737 MAX and 777 widebodies powered by GE engines, plus a separate GE engine supply deal for China’s Comac C919.
The author holds a large GE position (half their portfolio since 2018) and believes the deal is more likely now due to last-minute trip confirmation from GE, though they view GE shares as possibly “too late” to buy.
Quality assessment: Speculation and personal opinion, not well-researched DD; essentially a rumor-driven thesis with limited supporting data.

Speculation only. Definitely off topic but no less interesting:
Well as of 6 hours ago, the news have reported that the bosses of BA and GE are confirmed going to China.
**Speculation**: The administration will sign a 500 plane deal with China. 737max and 777 wide bodies. AllPowered by GE engines.
**Speculation**: GE will separately sign a deal with China to supply Comac C919 domestic China planes with the GE engines.
(Again) this is my speculation only. My last post on this topic was October last year which didn’t happen as the trip was postponed. I feel more confident now because the last minute trip confirmation came from GE.
(Disclosure: GE is half my portfolio, bought and held since 2018. It is probably too late to buy BA or GE. My last WTB price on GE was 270-250)
