Beijing, China (CNN) -- "China has threatened to slap sanctions on American companies that sell arms to its rival Taiwan as part of a range of punitive actions Beijing is taking to protest the deal." "The arms sale includes 60 Black Hawk helicopters, totaling $3.1 billion; 114 advanced Patriot air defense missiles; a pair of Osprey mine-hunting ships; and dozens of advanced communications systems."USA response: "Oh yeah? Well we sanction you times 100."

lol, because we have the leverage in this situation. China could "sanction" us at any time they want by saying they're no longer going to buy treasury bonds.

Seems like a pretty good move on our part. We make money helping a democratic nation, and say F U to China just a little bit.

China's labor and resources belong to us, and we'll continue to loot their country as long as they'll let us.

The problem here is that we are committed to helping Taiwan should China threaten their soverignty...well at least thats what our position on the matter use to be. It wont come to that tho. Really it just seems like China is scared of its own shadow these days.

keeping the status quo with china/taiwan/us is in china's best interests.
