A che gioco stanno giocando gli USA??
Prima Google, ora le armi a Taiwan.
Mah, azioni che sembrano più suggerite dalla voglia di mostrare i "muscoli", piuttosto che cercare un auspicato equilibrio mondiale.
Provocazioni che rischiano di fare ripiombare il mondo in una guerra tra "blocchi" di antica memoria.
L'impressione è che la politica Usa di Obama non cambierà da quella, disastrosa del suo predecessore, perchè al di là delle parole, sembra che stiano prevalendo i "falchi" e la voglia della Clinton di mettere i "pantaloni in famiglia".(o di essere il presidente giusto per le prossime elezioni nel 2012)
Facciamo due calcoli: gli americani chiedono ai Cinesi di acqustare bene del tesoro americano per non sprofondare nei propri debiti per circa 500 miliardi di dollari.
Poi, contemporaneamente passano 6,4 Miliardi di dollari di armi a Taiwan con la quale sta cercando faticosamente un equilibrio.
Beh, cosa potrebbero ora decidere i Cinesi? E allora perchè compriamo ancora debiti americani per trovarceli sotto forma di armi sotto casa??
Mah! A Washington forse a qualcuno si è inceppata la calcolatrice... O forse ha perso il senso della realtà (Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran etc...) ...ed ora anche la Cina.
China strongly protests US arms sales to Taiwan
CHINA today expressed "strong indignation" to the United States decision to sell a package of arms worth about US$6.4 billion to Taiwan and warned damage to bilateral ties.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei has lodged a solemn representation to Jon Huntsman, the US ambassador to China, after the Pentagon notified the US Congress of the proposed arms sales to Taiwan, which include Patriot missiles, Black Hawk helicopters and minesweepers.
Such a move is gravely against the three joint communiques between China and the United States, especially the "August 17" communique, in which the United States promised not to seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan, and intended to gradually reduce arms sales to the island.
The US decision "constitutes a gross intervention into China's internal affairs, seriously endangers China's national security and harms China's peaceful reunification efforts," a Foreign Ministry statement quoted He as saying.
"The US plan will definitely undermine China-US relations and bring about serious negative impact on exchanges and cooperation in major areas between the two countries, and lead to aftermath both sides would not prefer," He said.
He urged the US side to "fully recognize the gravity of the issue, revoke the erroneous decision on arms sales to Taiwan and stop selling weapons to Taiwan."
In 2008, China curtailed military exchanges with the United States after the Bush administration approved a US$6.5 billion Taiwan arms deal, including 30 Apache attack helicopters and 330 Patriot missiles.
