The U. S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing Company is denying reports that China’s plan to buy Boeing jetliners has been suspended because of political tensions between Washington and Beijing. On Tuesday, the Asian Wall Street Journal reported that the Chinese government has temporarily delayed its plans to buy at least 30 new models of Boeing’s 737 aircraft-a deal valued at $ 1 billion.
     The newspaper quoted unnamed Boeing officials as saying that the collision of a U. S. spy plane and Chinese fighter jet last month was the reason for the delay.
     But a Boeing representative in Hong Kong, Ivy Takahashi, said China’s plan to purchase the planes appears to be on track and is working through the normal approval process. She said Boeing expects to get confirmation of the orders from Beijing this month or next.
