lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I would like to draw your attention to the Council's proposal to lift the arms embargo on China. I want to ask everyone, has any foreign state threatened China? If yes, then which one? If no, then why are modern arms needed by a state which is known for its neglect of human rights, its one party dictatorship and the absence of the rule of law. Since when did the European Union decide to arm communist dictatorships? We have seen how the People's Republic of China threatened and continues to threaten a democratic state like Taiwan with military invasion. If we wish to avoid fanning additional flames of tension in that region, then we must approve the document prepared by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, which recommends that the arms embargo on the People's Republic of China is not lifted. Otherwise we can expect one more conflict, to which, no doubt, we would react with some sort of new resolution. But that would have no effect. When talking about a code, it must be said that it ought to be legally binding. Otherwise it will only be an empty collection of papers."@en1
