No more embargos against China?

[Recoil]

Ok, I don't know if you guys already heard of it, I'll just post it.

The German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder (the country's president so to say) right now argues against the EU-China-weapontrade-embargos, which prevents China from buying military technology from Europe. When I read about this it was pretty unbelievable, since this is a very obvious act of trying to boost the armament's economic situation. I don't have anything against China and usually support the partnership with them, but I don't know about selling them the most advanced military knowledge to improve their anyhow vast power...

I find this to be a rather corrupt thing somehow... I didn't expect this at all.

(I only have german sources so far, sorry. Gonna post foreign ones if I find some)

Oh, forgot something: Schroeder's not the next Hitler... :upstare:

I think weapons should be left out of the relationship between China & Europe. The E.U. is China's largest trading partner so the relationship is quite strong anyway.

Yep. But I suppose the people attacking the embargo are somehow involved in the industries' managements... what other reason would there be?

Unless that start improving the democracy, I'm against breaking the embargo. Although it could give a nice boost to Europe's economy and provide pleany of jobs, both in Europe and in China, so I'm not sure.
