▪ A potential decoupling with China is currently generating media coverage
▪ However , excluding the impact of COVID-19 and the 737MAX crisis , both aerospace imports from and aircraft exports to China have risen
▪ While there may be further supply chain decoupling among defense primes , sourcing from China to preserve market access for U . S . companies will likely remain an important part of the supply chain
▪ The U . S . maintains a significant trade surplus with China in aerospace ($ 558M in aerospace imports and $ 18.2B in aerospace exports in 2018 )
