Boeing's fine is essentially nothing more than a one-time 10% rebate to their largest customer.

Which, by the way, is totally not state support, especially if anyone from Airbus is within hearing distance...

Does it bar the EU and China from conducting their own criminal investigation, ask for extradition of the management team and/or impose their own fines?

Well, at the level they're at, and considering the strategic and military considerations, everybody does it. I'm reasonably sure EU countries do the same with Airbus, and I'm European.

They do, but Boeing gets about double the military activity of Airbus.

[londons_explore]

Indeed, they do.

We should just drop the pretense this playing field is level...
