According to the 'headline' on the link below, Boeing 'HALTS production over China sanctions'.

I don't for one moment believe that Boeing has halted production but it does highlight that US companies with a global supply train - and exporting a good proportion of their production - could be forced to relocate manufacture outside of the US to countries without swingeing tariffs on component imports. It would be ironic if Boeing had to shut down production in the US to avoid measures that an ignoramus had imposed, believing they would encourage increased production in the US!
I see this as a possible, massive opportunity for India to get into the airliner production business through Boeing setting up an FAL for B737. If India were to offer the right incentives, it could be handed civil aviation business worth tens of billions USD annually.
Think about it. Boeing produces perhaps 460 B737 each year. If they sell at an average of 75 million USD each, that would give a sales value of 34+ billion USD annually.
At the moment what do all Indian civil aviation constructors combined turn over annually building civil airliners or their components? Are there any Indian companies that would be interested in going from a small turnover to a giant turnover as a matter of urgency (Boeing's urgency)?
