In a significant development, GE Aerospace CEO Larry Culp was observed leaving a meeting at the National Development and Reform Commission in Beijing, as reported by a Reuters witness. This visit followed a major agreement reached between the U.S. and China involving the purchase of 200 Boeing jets.

The deal marks China's first procurement of U.S.-made commercial aircraft in nearly ten years, presenting substantial opportunities for Boeing and its main engine supplier, GE Aerospace.
