From the Asia Times Online:
Is the end of the European Union weapons embargo imposed on China in 1989 after the Tiananmen Massacre really imminent? Well, not just yet.
Contrary to what has been reported in the press over the past 10 days or so, the lifting of the 25-nation EU weapons embargo imposed on China after it violently crushed peaceful demonstrations for democracy, free speech and free thought in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, is not a done deal – not quite yet and perhaps far from it. Still, there is talk about possibly lifting it in March.
