Last week, during a visit from the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, Airbus announced that is had made an agreement to sell 300 aircraft to various Chinese customers, and to open its first factory in China to complete assembly of 737 airliners. Final assembly of the aircraft will still happen in the US, but completion will happen in China. Boeing already has an operating final assembly plant in China so Airbus will be competing with them for sales.
