This the main reason why the US has great distrust the French government. It seems they'll sale freedom loving states like Taiwan or look the other way on China's human right violations just to ink an Air-Bus deal with China. Just read what Germany's Deutsch Welle news-agency reported on French PM Jean-Pierre Raffarin during his visit to China:
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.
Raffarin also signed or finalized major business deals with Beijing valued at around $3.2 billion (2.4 billion euros).
Appearing to put his government at odds with the European Union, Raffarin said at the outset of the three day visit that Paris had no objections to the anti-secession law.
Wen Jiabao
"The anti-secession law is completely compatible with the position of France," he said in a joint press conference with his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao.
Once again the French reveal how they truly are Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys. (Homer Simpson)
