To China, this may be good news, “US may lift Chinese arms embargo”, but to many people who have been hold China as a main threat in their mind, America’s movement this time will make them more terrified.

Yes, Xinhua October 11 released the news that after 21 years of arms embargo against China, President Obama requested on Saturday to ease restrictions on the sale of cargo aircraft to Beijing, this could be seen as a tending sign to the restrain policy.

At the beginning of the news, it attached a picture showed the protagonist of the international event, the C-130 cargo aircraft. The front part of the news comprised a particular and detailed introduction of the aircraft. Two paragraphs were used to introduce it. Is it necessary to write so many words on the conditions of the craft in the news? I think the introduction here is very coherent and important. That is because only to tell the audiences the condition and the significance of this style aircraft first, then they can understand why we take the selling of C-130 so seriously. Why we make it as a sign of turning point to predict the future tendency of the relationship between China and America.

And then the news reviewed the similar selling and cooperation happened between these two countries in history. Especially the news story pointed out the role of Washington government played in the process of association. The US played as a leader to control the tendency and gestures of the relation. This may be used to let audiences to reflect the reason of America’s action and performance.
I chose this news story is because of its high sensitivity and profound significance. In fact, weapon technology and advanced armament are always leading the mainstream of the international affairs and the deep relations between country and country.

China has been thought to be a major potential enemy against western world for many years. So any dealings or negotiations concerning with weapon trades or technology cooperation will arouse wide attention, sometimes even criticism and protests from various countries. Especially this time, though the C-130 has been put in use foe decades of years, it still has been used vastly in various military actions and exercises. Its performance has proved that this style of aircraft is really advanced and effective. In fact, China doesn’t have any kind of aircraft can defeat C-130 even at present while C-130 has been invented by US for almost 50 years. So whether to sell it to China is of great significance. As well as the news which disclose the affair.
