It is the same for plane, all political.

DL purchase of 40 AB, did anyone thought that would happen if AB did not have a manufacturing in the US South? The AB they inherited from NW, would that happen if not for the NW/KL relationship?

Low Boeing presence in China when the aviation industry was starting, did Sina-US realtionship played any role?
