China will buy hundreds of Boeing jets, spend billions of dollars on agricultural goods from the United States, and reopen its markets to some U.S. meat products as part of deals secured during President Donald Trump\u2019s summit in Beijing this week, the White House revealed.\u00a0<\/p>

Big picture view:<\/p>

On Sunday, the Trump administration released\u00a0a fact sheet<\/u> that included some of the outcomes of the president\u2019s two-day trip, during which he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.\u00a0<\/p>

<\/div>

The statement included issues that both sides agreed upon, two new institutions to facilitate the economic relationship between the two countries, and China\u2019s pledges to open markets and spend billions on U.S. goods.<\/p>

By the numbers:<\/p>

The White House listed multiple items that the Trump administration projects will increase the number of high-paying jobs in the U.S. and open new markets for American goods.\u00a0<\/p>

Buying Boeing aircraft<\/h2>

The communist-led nation agreed to sign off on the purchase of 200 aircraft from American manufacturer Boeing, the White House stated. The planes will join the fleets of Chinese airlines, which, the administration points out, means that people in the Asian nation will be flying on American aircraft for decades to come.<\/p>

Billions in agricultural products<\/h2>

China pledged to buy tens of billions of dollars in agricultural products over the next three years, on top of the commitments it made in October to purchase U.S. soybeans. The country said it would purchase $17 billion worth of products this year, next year and the year after that, but it noted that this year\u2019s actual number will be lower because the total will be prorated.<\/p>

Beef and poultry access<\/h2>

U.S. beef and poultry producers will have renewed access to the Chinese market under the terms of the agreements struck, the White House stated. More than 400 beef facilities whose listings had expired will have them renewed, and new listings will be added. The country will also start importing poultry again, if it has been determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture not to have avian influenza.<\/p>

Additionally, the statement indicated that China will address U.S. concerns about supply chain shortages of rare earth metals and other minerals.<\/p>

Dig deeper:<\/p>

The U.S. and China also decided to establish boards of trade and investment. The Board of Trade will be in charge of trade between the two countries that does not include sensitive goods, while the Board of Investment will allow the two countries\u2019 governments to talk about investment issues.\u00a0<\/p>

Other items listed by the White House were Trump inviting Xi to the U.S. this fall, both Trump and Xi agreeing that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon and should allow passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and both world leaders recommitting to the idea that North Korea should denuclearize.<\/p>
