Several of the largest defense contractors in the U.S. have ties to Beijing, a Fox News Digital review found.
"Zhenjiang Bell Textron Aviation Services Center offers comprehensive maintenance, repair and overhaul services to our customers in the Greater China region, including Macao, Hong Kong, and Mongolia," Bell's website states. "Our in-country product and customer support engineers will ensure your aircraft is ready and operational at all times."
Additionally, the firm advertises "aircraft upgrades, mods, reconfigurations and customization" that includes "Aircraft Reconfigurations for Parapublic, Utility, Corporate, EMS, Training, and other specific missions" as well as "Mission Kit Installations, e.g. Hoists, Fast Ropes, Cargo Hooks, EMS Systems, Airborne Surveillance, Auxiliary Fuel Cell Systems, Float Kit, Mission Radios, etc.
The company also formed a joint venture in China "for interior parts and composite structures" in the form of Boeing Tianjin Composites in 1999, established the Boeing Research & Technology China a decade later, and in 2018 delivered "its 2,000th airplane to China, a 737 MAX 8 for Xiamen Airlines." Boeing's ties to the Chinese government don't stop solely in the business world, though; the company hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping in Everett, Washington in 2015 — which Xi flew into in his presidential Boeing 747-400 jet, according to a company video on the page.
