Press TV February 2, 2010 Gates defends US arms sales to Taiwan US Defense Secretary Robert Gates justifies Washington's plan to sell arms to Taiwan expressing hope that Beijing's 'reactionary measures' will be short-lived. Gates argues that according to a bill the US Congress passed in 1979, Washington is committed to provide certain levels of weapons to Taiwan for defense purposes. Earlier, the Pentagon's Ballistic Missile Defense Review Report said that the US is concerned about the growing imbalance of power across the Taiwan Strait in favor of China. Beijing has threatened to suspend military exchanges with Washington and impose sanctions on American companies that sell arms to Taiwan. China has not revealed any details about such possible sanctions. Beijing considers Taiwan as part of the Chinese territory and insists that it should be unified with the mainland China. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
