In this case U.S. government restrictions probably restrict China from buying U.S.-manufactured planes. I doubt Antonov wants to sell its only An-225.

- qaq 10y agoAntonov is selling the unfinished frame of second AN-225 and rights and documentation as far as I remember.
- coredog64 10y agoThe Chinese buy plenty of U.S. manufactured planes. In fact, in order to convince China to buy large aircraft like the 777, Boeing was more than happy to sign offset agreements[0] that sent a significant portion of manufacturing of smaller aircraft to Chinese subcontractors. Lest you think I would only throw stones at my former employer, Airbus has been doing that and more. They are actually doing final assembly in China.
