question 18

Multiple Choice

Boeing Company
Boeing Company has spent more than $100 million to create a major presence in China, complete with a major office complex, a large spare-parts facility, extra training programs for Chinese air crews, and a deal to buy fuselage sections for the 737 from local manufacturers. Asia is the fastest-growing aircraft market in the world. Asian carriers have been a major part of Boeing's sales, and Boeing predicts 40 percent of future air-traffic growth will come from Asia-Pacific travel, and it wants those passengers flying on Boeing jets. So, Boeing is jointly designing and building an American-Japanese-Chinese plane, all to lock out any European, South American, or even Asian threat to its market. To keep the fate of Asian aerospace in its hands, Boeing is steadily broadening its contractual relationship with Japan's three major players, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Fuji Heavy Industries. The Japanese "heavies" make part of the airframe of the Boeing 767 and 20 percent of one of Boeing's newest planes, the 777. This strategy should ensure Boeing's dominance in Japan.
