  "account": "Hopes for a renewed China commitment to buy Boeing planes are waning ahead of a Thursday summit between US and Chinese presidents, according to sources. The two people briefed on the matter said negotiations are still fluid, with Boeing now aiming to finalize a May deal for China to purchase 200 planes instead of earlier hopes for hundreds more. The provisional agreement reached during Donald Trump's previous summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing had reintroduced Boeing to the Chinese market, which it had been absent from since 2017. China is projected to order around 9,000 new jets by 2045, according to both Airbus and Boeing forecasts. While the US and China trade truce has been extended for two months, with more time to work on a potentially larger trade deal, new aircraft orders are not a top priority for the summit. Richard Aboulafia, a managing director at aerospace consulting firm AeroDynamic Advisory, said a victory would be salvaging the 200-jet order, while China specialist Scott Kennedy from the Center for Strategic and International Studies noted that brokering new jetliner deals was not a top priority. Agricultural consultancy Endau Analytics pointed out that Airbus has made more inroads in China than Boeing in recent years. Boeing has lost much of its influence in China due to politics and internal issues. However, there are still some hopes for progress between Boeing and China, particularly concerning the 200-jet deal signed in May, which could be finalized during the summit.",
