Wen demands lift of EU arms embargo at summit





Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao demanded the European Union lift a more than two-decade arms embargo against Beijing as the two global giants kicked off a summit on Thursday.


Using tough language at the summit start, Wen said he “deeply” regretted both the arms embargo slapped on China in 1989 in response to protests on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and the bloc’s failure to recognise China’s “full market status”, meaning lift all tariffs on Chinese goods.


Britain notably has refused to buckle in recent years to pressure from France and Spain to review the embargo.
