The impact of US sanctions on Russia is extending beyond the financial sector and affecting key industries in the United States. Boeing, the American aerospace company, is facing difficulties in meeting its production target on its 787 Dreamliner due to a lack of critical parts from Russia. After the imposition of sanctions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Boeing turned to British and American suppliers to source the necessary components. However, these suppliers have been unable to produce enough of the component to meet Boeing's demands. This highlights a contradiction in American geopolitical and economic strategy, as sanctions programs are intended to weaken foreign economies but are increasingly causing problems for Western economies. The challenges faced by Boeing due to the Russian sanctions raise concerns about the potential impact of similar sanctions on the Chinese economy. Reports indicate that the export of germanium and gallium from China to the West, which are crucial for the production of electronic products like microchips, has collapsed. This situation underscores the danger of Western governments assuming they can easily withdraw from global supply chains, as it could jeopardize economic prosperity and social stability [32d238bb].
