US EditionUS lets GE restart jet engine shipments to China’s COMAC: Reuters
- On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government authorized GE Aerospace to resume exporting jet engines to China's COMAC, reversing the suspensions that had been put in place earlier in May.
- These license suspensions followed escalating trade tensions and were part of broader U.S. restrictions targeting aerospace and technology exports to China in recent weeks.
- The restoration of licenses also coincides with lifted restrictions on chip design software and ethane exports and follows a June 5 phone call between U.S. and Chinese leaders and trade talks in London.
- GE Aerospace can now ship LEAP-1C engines for COMAC's C919 and CF34 engines for the C909 jet, while major EDA firms like Synopsys and Cadence resume Chinese market access.
- This policy reversal signals a de-escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions, reopening key aerospace supply chains and potentially boosting U.S. supplier revenues tied to China’s commercial aviation sector.
