Fifth District Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) has voted to strongly discourage the European Union from ending its arms embargo against the People’s Republic of China. Foxx believes that if the EU ends its sanctions, the United States could ultimately face a serious national security crisis. The United States and European Union imposed arms embargos on China following the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. However, citing a growing deficit with China, along with the potential for increased trade, the EU may lift the embargo within the next six months. China has agreed to forgive European debt in exchange for weapons and military technology.
