France tells China, "Go ahead and attack Tiawan"
During a state visit to China, French Premier Raffarin threw support behind a law allowing China to attack Taiwan and continued to push for a lift of the EU arms embargo.Huh, I wonder why? At the outset of a three-day visit to China, French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said he supported Beijing's "anti-secession" law on Taiwan, and vowed to keep pushing for an end to an EU arms embargo that could open the door for Paris to sell weapons to the Asian giant. Oh, that is why. Positioning for money. Raffarin also signed or finalized major business deals with Beijing valued at around $3.2 billion (2.4 billion euros). Is there a dictatorship France WON'T sell out too? Appearing to put his government at odds with the European Union, and the rest of the world Raffarin said at the outset of the three day visit that Paris had no objections to the anti-secession law. "The anti-secession law is completely compatible with the position of France," "The position of France is we want Americans to die." he said in a joint press conference with his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao. And people still say France is an ally?? Rest at link. Posted by: mmurray821 2005-04-21 |
