No, Boeing does final assembly in Zhoushan, China for 737s. Airbus does final assembly in EU (Hamburg, Toulouse), US (Alabama), Canada, and China (Tianjin).

The Zhoushan "Completion Center" is not an assembly line - it only handles interior fitment and exterior paint on aircraft that are otherwise fully assembled and have been flown from the production lines in Renton or Everett. The Airbus assembly lines outside the EU perform actual assembly of fuselage and wing components into complete aircraft.
