lpv:translated text	"Question No 5 by Miguel Ángel Martínez Martínez (): Following the EU-China Summit, we can see that the line followed by the Commission and Council with regard to China is positive and constructive, and that its effects will be beneficial to our interests and to the progress of the Chinese people. We are, however, perplexed by the radical difference between this policy towards China and that followed towards Cuba. We should like to know the keys that justify this differentiation. Does the Council think that respect for human rights and the rule of law – summary court proceedings and the application of the death penalty, freedom of expression and religion, political and social pluralism, etc. – is more satisfactory in China than in Cuba? Has the Council decided to advise the Member States’ ambassadors to invite Chinese ‘dissidents’ to their respective national day celebrations? Would it be reasonable to freeze cultural cooperation with China? What reasons underpin the difference in behaviour towards one country and the other? Is it the number of inhabitants, the economic and commercial potential, or the distance between their capital cities and Washington?"@en1
