Roxana Tiron: Vying for Defense Dollars

From National Defense Magazine:

The People’s Republic of China not only is producing a wide array of weapons systems for its own forces, but also is exporting versions of its military hardware to other nations under the wary eye of the United States…

While China has taken steps to regulate its arms manufacturers, it still has a long way to go, said Matt Schroeder, an analyst for the Federation of American Scientists, in an article entitled “Of Red Parakeets and Dragon Fire: The Nonproliferation Case for Maintaining E.U. Arms Embargo on China.” A decision by the European Union to lift a 15-year old arms embargo to China has raised strong opposition in the United States. After clashes with the United States and China’s adoption of a law to invade the island of Taiwan should it seek independence from the mainland, the E.U. increasingly has grown hesitant of lifting the controversial embargo.
