Uh huh, these guys are up to something or they want something.
Bingo!
They want someting.
Yeah, they want to make sure we'll dig their asses out of trouble when the Muslums who are taking over France start terrorizing them.
The EU is about to lift sanctions on military exports to China, needless to say the French are leading the push to lift them.
The US is heavily against, so this may be early manoeuvering, to try and make the US look bad when the row breaks, which it sure will over arms sales to China.
