A dividere l’Atlantico sarà presto la Cina se Europa e Usa non trovano un accordo

This meeting, organized as an informal discussion among a small number of European and American experts, focussed in particular on the problem of the EU embargo on arms sales to China, in the broader context of economic and security challenges currently presented by the rapidly growing economic and demographic giant. Of the various issues that emerged, two regarding domestic policy stand out: political reforms and human rights, crucial criteria in evaluating Beijing's progress since Tienanmen in 1989 - which gave birth to the embargo in the first place.
