lpv:translated text	". This joint resolution contains much hypocritical ‘fine sentiment’, about human rights, and the usual diplomatic/commercial cynicism of the major powers. Does China respect human rights? No, of course not, just like dozens and dozens of countries and appalling dictatorships to which the EU has sold and continues to sell arms with which to oppress their citizens or attack their neighbours and to fill the coffers of western arms dealers. From Saddam Hussein’s Iraq – armed by France, the UK, Germany, Russia and the USA – to Israel, via dictatorships in Latin America, Asia, Africa and elsewhere, no embargo has ever stopped the arms manufacturers, including some right here in Europe. They are able to bypass such embargoes with even greater ease – in China just as elsewhere – because they enjoy the complicity of European governments."@en1
