And Boeing gets US subsidies.

"The World Trade Organization said on Thursday the United States had ignored its request to halt a subsidized tax break for Boeing Co in its main plane-making state of Washington as a 15-year-old transatlantic trade row edges towards tit-for-tat sanctions."

It's funny how the US complains about China propping up or even owning (usually partially) big corporations there, but they do the same with Boeing and many other companies.

At least in China, the government is the one that has the final say on everything, and the state-owned corporations have to do what the government wants. Here, the corporations get to do what they want, but they still get subsidies from the government but without being required to operate in the interests of the government or the nation at large.
