#1 Good. It's all about money - so focus on making it hurt.

And keep a careful watch on the formation of "new" companies which seek to sell to China - front companies.

The entire logic of having the embargo was laudable, sensible, and logical. Lifting it is pure mercenary greed.

#5 "Good. It's all about money - so focus on making it hurt."

Yeah, what he said! What gets me is the irony of the whole thing. I thought America was the home of greedy capitalist bastards who would sell their grandmothers for a Euro, er, a dollar.

Apparently, the logic is that those selling arms are not the ones who will be fighting when push comes to shove over Taiwan. Oh, well. Garcon, more dictator teat for my friends!
