EU to lift arms embargo on China during the difficult
French "Le Figaro" recently quoted the head of the European Union's foreign policy, Ms. Ashton close to diplomatic sources as confirming this view. Then, during the lifting of the EU arms embargo on China in the end the possibility of how much?
The arms embargo as obstacles to China-EU relations
Reporter: The United States and Europe and other Western countries since the eighties of last century, China began to implement a strict arms embargo. So Europe and America for what purpose was the implementation of the ban?
Vang Pao to pay: the arms embargo when the Cold War have emerged. During the Cold War, East-West confrontation the two camps, the West exports formed a Steering Committee in Paris to prevent the export of strategic goods to the socialist countries, or weapons. Later in the second half of 1989, the EU began to military sanctions against China and the prohibition of arms sales. This fact is not only military sanctions, it is political sanctions.
Until now,
21 years later, it banned the export of arms to China's ban on the development of China's military power, did not play the role of obstacles, but seriously interfere with the development of China-EU relations. Therefore, from the late 90s, raised many countries, the sanctions are not already expired, is not it should not engage in any longer. Including France, Germany, also have raised once, but the Eastern European countries, is against it. Until now, there are still differences in opinion within the EU, so this issue has been until now. Now, it is an obstacle to the development of China-EU relations, already should be lifted.
Large-scale purchases of Western weapons, China can not
Reporter: Once the EU arms sales ban on China, then what impact will China?
Vang Pao to pay: If you really can relieve this problem this year, of course, the development of China-EU relations is a very good news. EU is now China's largest trading partner, China and many European major powers, Germany, France, Deng Deng, have economic and trade exchanges between other aspects, are also better. If you solve this problem, it should be said that the bilateral relations, the whole relationship between China and the EU is very beneficial.
However, after the lifting of the ban and will not be as estimated by some in the West, China will purchase a large number of weapons from the EU. Because of China's military development, mainly through its own efforts, we have a complete defense industrial system, it is impossible immediately to the west a large number of weapons and equipment procurement, the EU will not sell. In this sense then, and now to lift this ban, it is important to have political significance. Therefore, immediately lifting the ban does not mean that China can buy from the West, a large number of weapons and equipment, China is no need, there is no need to do so. So there is no need to worry about the EU, other countries, especially the United States, do not need such concerns and problems.
