$19 Billion for 200 Boeing aircrafts.

"Other deals involved Honeywell, Caterpillar and Westinghouse Electric, a unit of Japan's Toshiba Corp.

Chinese officials told the Obama administration that Chinese companies had signed 70 contracts worth $25 billion in U.S. exports from 12 states, U.S. officials said.

Altogether, the Boeing and other deals will support an estimated 235,000 American jobs, they said."

In comparison to the deal struck with India just two months ago: "... business deals between US and Indian companies totaling near $10 billion in US exports, which the White House has said will lead to more than 50,000 jobs in the US."

Cool, Boeing needs a bit of stimulus! (Dreamliner postponed again, now three years late).

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
Even NPR knows these are old contracts, in the works for some years now.
