3/22 Interesting. China can put a man in orbit but needs to buy night
vision goggles from EU?
\_ Who said they *NEED* to? Maybe the EU sells better ones and China
hasn't gotten around to ripping off their technology yet.
\_ The US put a man in orbit 50 years ago. When were night vision
goggles invented?
\_ China wants to buy offensive weaponry from the EU, e.g., the
Tiger attack helo, being built by a joint French-German-Spanish
venture. 80% of the airframe will be constructed of lightweight
composite materials. First deliveries are this year with 80 for
France and 80 for Germany.
\_ We can put a man on the moon, and we need to buy computers from
China.
\_ We invented the Internet, and we download Japanese pr0n.
\_ Regardless of whether China really needs the night vision goggles
and other European-made weapons (they have been buying pretty much
anything they want from Russia throughout the last 10 years), the
lift of the European weapons sales ban would certainly be a very
significant political victory for PRC. |
