From the Asia Times Online:
The seventh European Union-China Summit held in The Hague on December 8 again failed to resolve the issue of the EU arms ban on China, despite heavy pre-summit French and German lobbying. However, in a joint statement released at the end of the summit, “the EU side confirmed its political will to continue to work toward lifting the embargo. The Chinese side welcomed the positive signal, and considered it beneficial to the sound development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and the EU.”
