I wonder if Boeing can stand the heat with a Democratic House Financial Services Committee (FSC). I previously described the situation that had Boeing accused of selling a satellite to China, which our export laws prohibit. That was worth investigating and the SEC is taking that on. That is probably not the only investigation going on there, but there is not much discussion of the others.
Enter the ranking member of the FSC who want to "a firm with connections to the Chinese government may have used a complex financing arrangement in an attempt to skirt U.S. export controls related to national security" says the Wall Street Journal. That will mean they better get some pretty good answers or they will be testifying in front of a committee run by that famous Congresswoman, Maxine Waters. It so happens that a large portion of the world's satellites are made in Maxine Waters' Congressional district. Perhaps she will help Boeing by providing advice on how they should deal with this case.
