REUTERS/Aly Song/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 12 (Reuters) - China is considering resuming purchases of Boeing's (BA.N) 737 Max aircraft when the U.S. and Chinese presidents meet this week at the APEC summit, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter. Boeing is still waiting to resume deliveries of its bestselling 737 MAX to Chinese airlines more than four years after they were halted following two deadly crashes. The company had said that as of the end of June, about 90% of its 737 Max jets in China had resumed commercial operations. Boeing in September slightly increased its annual 20-year forecast for new plane deliveries to China, citing economic growth and increasing demand for domestic travel.

"I hope we will have some chips funding announcements this fall." It is not clear how long from initial announcements it will take the Commerce Department to finalize funding agreements. Separately, Raimondo said she supports legislation that would give the Commerce Department new tools to address information and communications technology supply (ICTS) chain concerns posed by China and other foreign adversaries.

REUTERS/Aly Song/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. has no evidence that Chinese manufacturer Huawei can produce smartphones with advanced chips in large volume, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Tuesday. "We don't have any evidence that they can manufacture seven-nanometer (chips) at scale," Raimondo said at a U.S. House hearing, referencing an advanced chip. Raimondo told the House Science Committee hearing she was upset by the advanced Huawei smartphone report. Some Republicans think the Commerce Department should end all technology exports to Huawei and SMIC. Republican Representative Darrell Issa said at the hearing Raimondo was in China when the new Huawei phone was announced.

On Aug. 30 in Shanghai, Raimondo said she hoped to "see some results" in the next few months as a result of her four-day visit to Beijing and Shanghai.

"China is making it more difficult," Raimondo told CBS's Face the Nation. "I was very clear with China that we need to - patience is wearing thin among American business. "They suggested that they didn't know about it and they suggested that it wasn't intentional," she told CNN. And certainly they're having real, real significant challenges in the real estate sector," she told Face the Nation.
