Post China hits back at US over Taiwan weapons sale
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8488765.stm

Quote:
China has announced a series of moves against the US in retaliation for a proposed weapons sale to Taiwan worth $6.4bn (£4bn).

.....

The US State Department also defended the move on Saturday, saying the arms sales contributed to security and stability between Taiwan and China, Reuters reported.

A very stupid move by the US seeing as China basically own their arse after buying up a fair whack of the debt that the US racked up from the war in Iraq.

Why didn't they sell them on the sly then? Surely that can't be too hard with White house approval.

Yip, and long before that from what I've read, a lot of it due to decisions from the previous Fed Bank chairman apparently...
