Led by France, the European Union has informed the world of it's intention to
supply advanced weaponry to China. This was banned after Beijing's bloody
crackdown in 1989 on protesters during the Tiananmen Square demonstrations.
France feels this will lead to better ties with the communist nation and check
American influence in the region. French arms suppliers will also be happy. This
move will upset the balance of power in the region and has apparently encouraged
China to put into motion it's plans to start a war with Taiwan. The overwhelming
majority of Taiwan's population do not want to join China. This war would be
undoubtedly cause a severe disruption to the world economy. Thank France for
contributing to world stability!!

The fucking French. Why don't they stick to surrendering, backstabbing and
pointless nuclear tests? It's what they excel at.

O, and who has been filling south korea and japan with troops for the past 20
years? Yeah, the USA.
The situation there is critical - with north korea advancing with its nuclear
research and china getting close and closer to a war with Taiwan. Its gonna need
great diplomatical sacrifices in order to prevent war.

LOL, somebody ALWAYS has to find that American is at fault somehow. Yeah, the
USA armed forces are in South Korea to prevent the North from AGAIN invading the
South! North Korea is a belligerent nation! One could say that the US military
presence in the far east has allowed stability and progress to happen their for
the past 20 years.

Taiwan should probably respond by ceasing shipments of computer chips and
electronic parts to Europe, or at least France. I wonder how France would do
without new computer parts. It really looks to me that France is simply using
the concept of a unified Europe to further it own agenda. It's obvious that
France will impose it's will and intimidate smaller nations in the union into
supporting it's policies. We got a small glimpse of that when France threatened
Poland politically when Poland supported the Iraq war. Essentially, France is
using the European Union to increase it's global power, and fulfill it's
aspirations of competing with the United States. Something that is apparently an
obsession of Chirac. Maybe Chirac has visions of being the next Napoleon.

Either way, its chinese killing chinese.
So whats your problem,unless of course,the US gets itself involved, and as we
all know, they cant help themselves.

Well Rogue_1, to answer your question, yes, the United States has pledged to
defend Taiwan in the event of armed conflict with China. It would not be a good
situation at all. Whenever China conducts military exercises near the strait,
the U.S. moves a carrier group into the area. Also, the motherboard and video
card you are using right now were probably made in Taiwan. As well as the
thousands of Chinese killed, It wouldn't be a good thing for anybody if China
turned Taiwan into a smoking ruin. Chirac is playing a dangerous game.

I thought Clinton and Kerry said the United Nations had any problems under
control and the US should stop spreading imperialism and democracy around the
world. OK, lets see how they deal with the coming slant eye problem.

BOO HOO America. So mad that France didn't join your little group of friends in
invading Iraq for money. BOO FUCKING HOO. The statement at the top of the page
is false. France is shipping parts for satellites that are used for surveilance.
Not very advanced when you consider America already has hundreds of them in
orbit watching China. The American government blew this into something bigger by
claiming these satellite parts could shoot down US satellites, which it now
turns out is false because these satellites have no propulsion thus they
couldn't shoot the earth nevermind a satellite. Stop blowing every little
incident into another 'just' cause.

anonymous@43152 where are you getting you information from??? Satellite
parts??? WTF? The issue is VERY MUCH about advanced weaponry. The United States
is talking about stopping shipments of advanced weapon systems to Europe so that
they don't end up selling it to the Chinese and end up killing U.S. soldiers in
the far east.
Did you just completely make that up?? Amazing how people will delude themselves
and distort reality with their anti-American bias.

May I point out as A UK citizen, France had no problems selling arms to
Argentina when we were fighting them in the Falklands. Even though they are
meant to be our ally. Twats.
Whereas the yanks supplied the very handy Sidewinder 9M which was used to great
success during the campaign. Thats what being an ally is all about. Backing
your friends up, not crapping on them for a couple of Euros.
