A One-Way Planet

Now, let's try to imagine the unimaginable, a mirror-image piece in the leading Chinese paper, the People's Daily:

Beijing - Yielding to pressure from President Hu Jintao and threats of retaliation from the National People's Congress, the European Union has put off plans to lift its arms embargo on the United States this spring and may not press the issue until next year, Chinese and European officials said Monday. The officials said that in addition to Chinese pressure, European nations have been shaken by the Pentagon's recent adoption of a planning document that would authorize the employment of high-technology weaponry and the use of force globally, without reference to sovereignty, to assassinate foes of choice or make war on any nation that it declares not to have used its "sovereignty responsibly." The Pentagon's action, they said, jolted France and undercut its moves to end the embargo before June.
