The news media hyped it up, but Leslie's trip to the Republic didn't? Substantive results.

On several issues of general concern to the outside world, China and the United States have not been able to reach any consensus.

On the issue of "nuclear disarmament," the Republic demands that the United States terminate its program for the development of B-XX strategic bombers, SSBN-X strategic nuclear submarines, and M-XX mobile strategic ballistic missiles, destroy B-2 and B-52H strategic bombers, reduce the number of B-1B strategic bombers to less than 50, and retain up to 250 unupgraded "Minutemen". strategic ballistic missiles, cutting the 1 "Russia ~ Russia" class strategic nuclear submarine by half; The demands put forward by the United States are that the Republic stop the development of H-99 strategic bombers, C98-class strategic nuclear submarines, and DF-mobile strategic ballistic missiles, destroy all DF-type strategic ballistic missiles, retain up to 00 DF-3 series strategic ballistic missiles, and reduce the number of strategic nuclear submarines to the following. Because the prices offered by both sides were very high and unacceptable to the other side, the "nuclear disarmament" negotiations did not achieve any substantive results.

On the issue of "trade disputes", the Republic proposed that the two sides should eliminate trade barriers at the same time and give each other the most favored nation treatment; On the grounds that "the size of the U.S. market is twice the size of the republic's market," the U.S. demanded that the republic grant the United States full most-favored-nation status, and only promised to remove trade barriers for some republican goods, excluding composite batteries and related products. As a result, it is conceivable that the republic will not accept the conditions offered by the United States.

On the issue of the "Sino-US Strategic Economic Cooperation Agreement", the Republic proposed that the United States must lift all restrictions on the capital of the Republic, open up to the capital of the Republic in the fields of finance, manufacturing, aviation, aerospace, medical care, etc., and give equal treatment and rights to the capital of the Republic. The United States demanded that the republic fully open its domestic market to American capital, abolish all protective policies, and reduce government intervention. Undoubtedly, this question is not to be discussed.

On the issue of the "Asia-Pacific situation," the contradictions between the two sides have become more acute. The Republic of China proposed that the United States reduce its military forces deployed in the Western Pacific region by two-thirds on the existing basis within the next five years, withdraw its troops from the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, and recognize the Republic's dominance in Northeast Asia, the South China Sea, and the Western Pacific region. The United States, on the other hand, proposed that the Republic disarm 30 percent of its current base within the next five years, withdraw its troops from Laos, Vietnam, and other countries, stop all assistance to the Burmese military junta, and promise not to launch any military expansion. In the end, this question is still not to be discussed.

The "globalization process" itself is an illusory issue, and the globalization process becomes meaningless in the context of trade protectionism in all countries, and neither side wastes much time on this issue.

When Leslie left Beijing, the two sides had agreed on only two minor issues.

First, US President Leslie will visit China in early August, and Pang Xinglong will visit the United States early next year. Second, the United States will invite Britain and France, and the Republic of China will invite Russia to convene a preparatory meeting for global nuclear disarmament talks at the end of the year.

Leslieken's visit to Beijing is more important than any consensus reached between the two sides.

July 11th. Leslie left Beijing on the third day. US President Frederick submitted a bill to the House of Representatives on "lifting the military embargo against China."

As soon as the news was announced. The domestic news media in the United States were the first to "blow up."

The "radicals" on behalf of the NN believe that Frederick's move seriously harms the national interests of the United States. It sets a bad precedent for U.S. foreign policy. It will seriously weaken the international prestige of the United States and its right to speak in international affairs. It has a very far-reaching negative impact on U.S. foreign policy.

CBS's representative "realists" believe that Frederick's move is of great significance to easing Sino-US relations. It will greatly help to improve the international status of the United States, the influence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, and the international image of the United States. A new era of U.S. diplomacy began. Good for the United States.

The same reaction as the press. The House of Representatives of the US Congress is also divided into two distinct factions.

Republican lawmakers, representing arms interests, strongly support the president's submission of the local bill. It is no longer meaningful to continue the military embargo against China. Repeal the relevant bill as soon as possible. Conduct more in-depth military cooperation and exchanges with China. It will not only ease the pressure on the United States' local diplomacy. It could also bring hundreds of thousands of jobs to the United States. It provides impetus for the development of the U.S. arms industry, manufacturing, electronics industry and other industries.

Democratic congressmen have a diametrically opposite viewpoint, holding that after the lifting of the military embargo on China, the United States' advanced military technology will flow into the hands of potential hostile countries, which will not only be of no help to US national security, but will cause the United States to suffer an even more serious threat.

Some Democratic congressmen also pointed out that after China obtains US weaponry and military technology, it will suppress US lust in the international arms market and cause hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American workers to lose their jobs.

Under U.S. law, members of the House of Representatives can express their views on bills and debate them.

If there is serious disagreement among parliamentarians, a bill can be debated for months, if not years.

Even if the bill passes the House of Representatives, it must be passed in the Senate before it can be considered by the Senate

> vote is made for the bill to take effect.

If the House and Senate make changes to the details of the bill during the debate, the president will need to re-approve it.

If the President makes changes to the bill when he reaps it, it will have to be submitted to both houses of Congress for consideration again.

It's strange that it doesn't take a few months to go through the motions.

The United States began to act, and the European countries could not sit still.

On 13 July, the French president held an informal meeting with the British prime minister in London on the occasion of the high-level summit on EU political integration, urging Britain to make substantive concessions on lifting the military embargo against China as soon as possible in consideration of the interests of EU countries. Subsequently, the heads of government or heads of state of Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria and other countries held informal meetings with the British prime minister=: or called hotlines to put pressure on the United Kingdom.

According to the speculation of the press, with the overwhelming majority of EU member states supporting the lifting of the military embargo on China, the United States has also taken a first step of substantial significance, and Britain can only compromise.

Two weeks later, France, Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic again proposed at the Council of the European Union to lift the military embargo on China.

On August 3, after a week-long debate, the Council of the European Union went to a vote. As speculated, Britain did not vote against the vote.

The next day, Irish Prime Minister Elffindor, the rotating presidency of the European Union, signed the "Agreement on Military Cooperation with China."

At this point, the EU officially lifted the military embargo on China, but not all restrictions.

When the EU Council deliberated on the new bill, the UK clearly put forward the "minimum bottom line", including a ban on the sale of offensive and offensive weapons and equipment and military technology to China, and a ban on the sale of strategic and auxiliary military technology to China. To this end, the Council of the European Union has set up a special "Military Cooperation Committee with China," which is composed of seven member states of the United Kingdom in the interior, and has given the committee the power to deliberate on all military cooperation agreements with China, and any member has the right of veto.

The attitude of the republic towards the actions of the European Union is not positive.

"To put it bluntly, the EU only wants to get military technology from us." As the "general manager" of the Republic's first technology, Pan Yunsheng is very clear about the EU's intentions. "Over the years, France and Germany have been in contact with us in the hope of obtaining the technology for the production of composite batteries from us and establishing a production base for composite batteries in Europe. In addition to civilian use, France and Germany also coveted the use of composite batteries in the military field. In the first half of this year, we arrested and expelled more than 20 French and German intelligence officers suspected of stealing composite battery technology. Now, the EU has made a hole in the military embargo, but it does not want to take out its own bottom goods, but only wants us to make a move, and it is clear that it wants to take advantage of us. ”

Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "So, we can't be fooled?" ”

"Of course you can't be fooled." Pan Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and gave Li Cunxun a look who was sitting next to him.

"France and Germany have been working hard to develop composite batteries, but they have not been able to make substantial progress for a long time. According to the information we have, the progress of Franco-German development is even slower than that of Russia. Li Cunxun's tone was very calm, without any emotion. During the meeting between the French President and the British Prime Minister, it was clearly mentioned that the lifting of the military embargo was only for the purpose of acquiring our local technology through military cooperation. The French president even made a commitment that France would share all the results achieved in composite battery technology with the United Kingdom, as long as the United Kingdom supported the lifting of the military embargo. Although the EU countries have not formally proposed a specific plan for military cooperation to our country, it can be expected that the EU will definitely make a fuss about the technology of composite batteries. ”

"I don't think it's a one-size-fits-all approach." Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and said, "At the beginning of the year, the experimental center came up with several sets of new production processes for private enterprises to participate in the production of composite batteries on a large scale, and the main purpose was to control the output of advanced composite batteries. If there is a production process that can only produce composite batteries below level 6 that we have already marketed to the world, we can use this as a bargaining weight to demand that European countries provide the military technology we need. ”

"The key depends on whether there is such a production process."

"It depends on the results of the experimental center. Let's start with assumptions, and if so, how to talk to European countries. ”

Pan Yunsheng thought for a while and said, "Even so, our asking price can't be too low. ”

"Of course, European countries have to come up with real materials." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "You go and prepare and summarize the military technology we urgently need." Also, discuss with Pang Xinglong to see if we have any needs in other areas. Anyway, whether the price is overwhelmed and the money is repaid on the ground, whether the negotiation can be successful or not depends on the attitude of the EU. ”

Pan Yunsheng didn't say anything more, because composite batteries below level 6 would soon be "outdated".

If the republic does not trade with the EU with this, it will be cheaper for the United States!

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
