EU Warned Not to Sell Weapons to China

Chinese President Hu Jintao is in Europe, and is trying to get the Europeans to drop the arms embargo they imposed after the Tianamen Square Massacre.

In response, an American representative once again warned Europe of sanctions if the embargo is lifted.

My guess is that Hu is going to be disappointed.  The French have been the chief instigators in trying to lift the embargo, as part of their "multi-polar world" (read: anti-American) policy.  But in the wake of the Paris-tinian insurrection, I believe their confidence will be sufficiently shaken to preclude any unfriendly actions towards America.

For now.

US warns EU again over arms embargo

Update: David’s Medienkritik has a report about Hu’s visit to Germany.
