Should Chinese Airlines Buy Airbus Aircraft or The Best Boeing Jet Airliners?
It appears that the whole Airliner Cap and Trade (tax and fee) program has been concocted by a few higher-ups at the EU who are perpetuating the Global Warming Theory (myth) which states that emissions of CO2 from human industry and activities are causing the planet to melt?<br /><br />Now then, there was an interesting article recently in the Wall Street Journal entitled; "China Envoy Backs Shunning of Airbus," by Daniel Michaels published on 3/10/2012 which discussed some sharp words coming out of a Brussels meeting recently. The article stated that;<br /><br />"China's ambassador to the EU said that "it makes sense for Chinese Airlines to shun Europe's Airbus planes in favor of competing American models from Boeing Company in response to the EU's new levies on aviation greenhouse emissions."<br /><br />Of course it does, it makes a lot of sense, especially as it really appeared to me to be an extortion like move from the EU to get Chinese Airlines to buy Airbus jets, which would have re-balanced trade surpluses slightly and put 10s of thousands of folks to work in factories building those jets - along with another win for Global Warming Alarmists showing they can control markets and introduce a new form of currency to control and force environmentalism down the throats of nations world-wide, while also keeping Chinese, Russian, African, Indonesian low-cost carries with older aircraft out of the lucrative European airline markets.<br /><br />Then there was the previous WSJ article on 3/9/2012 entitled; "EU-China Battle Stalls Airbus Sales," by Daniel Michaels and David Pearson which explained that the CEO of Airbus accused EU higher-ups of creating a war with the Chinese costing Airbus over $12 billion in new aircraft orders. I'd say it is at least that high, if not higher, and in the future could blossom to an astronomical loss for Airbus, all over climate-gate tactics. Apparently, all this maneuvering in the EU back-fired on them, and it couldn't have come at a worse time considering the financial crisis in the member nations there.<br /><br />Further, the Chinese don't want to reward bad behavior or succumb to this extortion-like move, nor should they. China has every right to buy aircraft from whomever they want for whatever reason they care to choose. That's what free-markets are about, and the EU knows or should have known better. But in this case the Chinese airlines will be buying superior aircraft from the Boeing Company anyway, so it's a win-win for all. Please consider all this and think on it.<br /> <br />In 2002, I went to the SEMA AAPEX Show in Las Vegas. The aftermarket auto accessory industry was there along with all of the auto service industry folks. It was a combined show, and it was absolutely huge. Someone stated that there were 26 miles of exhibits, and that makes sense because at the end of four days I had blisters, and I was completely burned out. You must understand that I am a former athlete, a runner, so I'm not sure how some of those older folks made it.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I do remember at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas where the AAPEX show was, the exhibit hall was easily five or six football fields worth of area and on the bottom floor, well, it was filled with companies that made auto parts, equipment for the industry, or other industry related trinkets.
