I wondered the exact same thing a few pages back. However, an extremely knowledgeable poster on a completely different forum said this would still be subject to tariffs.
I've read elsewhere in the last couple of days that all three major Chinese carriers are looking hard at the C series. Now, if they could be convinced to buy out the Canadian govt stakes as part of a purchase order... maybe the subsidy problem goes away (unless BA can make the case that Chinese carriers are also subsidized). It would be very Sun Tzuesque for the Chinese to take this wedge eagerly manufactured by BA and drive it right where the sun don't shine between Canada and the U.S.
