Air China became the first Chinese carrier to take delivery of a Boeing 737 Max, receiving its first 737 Max 8 on Nov. 3, 2017. As of April 2018 Chinese customers had outstanding orders for 188 737 Max 8s, according to IBA Group.

The 25 percent tariff on imports proposed by China on new U.S.-built aircraft with empty weights from 15,000 kg (33,069 pounds) to 45,000 kg (99,208 pounds) as part of an escalating potential trade war with the Trump Administration could prove more problematic for Boeing than most aerospace industry observers believe, according to UK aviation technical consulting firm IBA Group.
