The Chinese President Hu Jintao oversaw the signing of multibillion-dollar aircraft and nuclear fuel contracts with French companies yesterday and pledged close co-operation as Paris prepares to take over the G20 presidency. Chinese officials signed contracts to buy 102 Airbus planes for a number of Chinese airlines and deals with Areva to build a nuclear-fuel treatment factory in China and supply uranium over 10 years. The contracts totalled $20bn (£12bn). Mr Hu's three-day state visit to France, after which he travels to Portugal, comes at a time when European Union leaders have closed ranks with Washington in urging China to allow its yuan currency to appreciate more quickly, unsettling relations between Beijing and Brussels
With the ink barely dry on the Anglo-French military agreement, TLOTK does this (above)! You can bend over and kiss goodbye any special relationship with the Septics. As long as the Kermits are in bed with the Chinks, and we are in bed with the Kermits, we are totally stuffed. Now, the Septics won't even tell us the price of a cup of coffee in the Pentagon, much less give us any sensitive intelligence.
The Boy Slime was off his freaking trolley signing a deal with the Kermits. He might just as well have parcelled up all our military and industrial secrets and sent them direct to Peking, cutting out the middle man. Did I say we're totally stuffed? We're totally stuffed.China signs $20bn deals with France
