China, the European Aviation Safety Agency, Ethiopia, and several other regulators and countries have joined the Federal Aviation Administration's international team to review the safety of the Boeing 737 MAX, Reuters reports.

Why it matters: Per Axios' Andrew Freedman: The participation of international aviation authorities in part indicates some skepticism regarding the FAA's certification process, which is under investigation in the wake of the two 737 MAX crashes. By working with the FAA, international regulators may be betting that they will have access to more information to determine aircraft safety on their own, rather than merely trusting the FAA's safety review.

Airbnb has more than a dozen homes available for rent in China's Xinjiang region on land owned by an organization sanctioned by the U.S. government for complicity in genocide and forced labor, an Axios investigation has found.

Why it matters: The listings expose Airbnb to regulatory risk under U.S. law. They also land yet another American tech company in the crossfire between the U.S. and China.
