China was forced to return a new Boeing plane it bought from the United States, after its price increased due to the huge customs duties imposed by US President Donald Trump on Beijing recently.

The plane, which was dedicated to a Chinese airline, returned to the Boeing Center in the American city of Seattle, on Sunday, after it cut a flight from China for a distance of about 8 thousand kilometers.

The plane was one of several "737 Max" aircraft, the best -selling model for "Boeing", which was contracted by the Chinese company "Xiamen Air".

Earlier last April, Trump raised the basic customs duties on Chinese imports to 145 percent. In response, Beijing imposed customs duties by 125 percent on American goods.

These fees will affect any Chinese airline that receives Boeing 737 Max, given that the market value of the plane is about 55 million dollars, according to the ABA consulting company in the field of aviation.

last week, it was reported that the Chinese government asked local airlines to suspend equipment purchases and spare parts related to aircraft from American companies such as "Boeing".

China acquires about 20 percent of the expected global demand for aircraft, over the next two decades.
