China will buy their own planes to start. If they have a decade or so of safe and efficient operations then they can sell them to airlines like Lion Air.

That will certainly make China buy a bunch more Boeing products.
Or more likely, switch to RR or CFM
U.S. gov should make Boeing to get their own shit together so Chinese airlines (by extension Europeans) have no choice but buy US planes...
No one will want your stuff when you stuff is s**t... *cough* 737 Max *cough cough*
