We must defend the values of freedom and democracy through the legitimate use of words and the responsible adoption of legislation.
The fact that the People’s Republic of China is a big market should not lead us to forget that its political regime has inherited what remains a distinctly Communist system of values, which is a very long way from meeting acceptable standards.
The people of Taiwan are still suffering the political oppression and economic isolation imposed on them by the People’s Republic of China, which has recently threatened Taiwan once again with military action.
The conditions are not in place for lifting the embargo on the trade in arms. If under current circumstances it is hardly possible to restrict the arms race of the People’s Republic of China, then what will happen if the embargo is lifted?
Furthermore, it would be seen as an approval of the current status of confrontation, rather than an insistence on the necessary political dialogue between the People’s Republic and Taiwan. Let us promote political action rather than military action."@en1
