Then again that small potatos when you have exports of US arms to groups and countries that are subject to arms embargos.
Hey your govt even has a long running habit of still suppling weapons to terrorists and governments after passing legislation explicitly banning the arms shipments to them
So sorry TLAM leave it to others to complain about China being dodgy as you support the same dodgy deals and your govt is equally as guilty as you are saying China is.

Ain't that a bugger when you find you are the moral equivalents of the chinese communist dictatorship

But the stuff we export is generally defensive in nature. Chinese CSS-2 IRBMs don't defend airspace, F-15s do. The Varang and Gorshkov were not purchased to defend their own harbors. We only sell the purely offensive weapons to our close allies in NATO and the Asian Rim.

For every weapon we export to some shady group we export a hundred to an ally. All the Chinese seem to do is arm 3rd world despots. How many free and democratic nations arm their militaries with Chinese weapons?
