Chance to seal Boeing China deal strains Clinton
The Chinese government quietly proposed a billion dollar sale of Boeing 777s to China that could set Washington against campaign finance scrutiny. Gore may preside over the signing, but White House aides worry over perceptions of mercantilism and political damage amid relations with Beijing. Boeing seeks the order while officials weigh political risk and the need to protect jobs in Seattle.
