BOEING stock fell to its lowest in four months when US-China trade tensions escalated and the editor of Beijing's Global Times warned that the company's aircraft sales would fall, reports Bloomberg.
Global Times editor Hu Xijin tweeted that China may stop purchasing American agricultural and energy products, cut Boeing orders and restricted trade in American services.
The tweet triggered speculation over whether Mr Hu was reflecting government thinking on the issue. Geng Shuang, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry, said they don't comment on the views of experts and media, when questioned about the tweet.
