China's top diplomat in the United States says Washington's approval of a multibillion-dollar arms package for Taiwan is a "gross violation" of U.S. commitments to Beijing.
Chinese Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong said in a speech Wednesday that the United States should abide by previous promises to reduce the sales of weapons to Taiwan, the self-governing island that China claims as its territory.
Zhou bluntly urged the U.S. to stop selling weapons to Taiwan and to allow Beijing and Taipei to work out their differences.
China is angry over the Bush administration's approval of a $6.5 billion package of weapons to help the island defend itself should China ever make good on its vow to invade if Taiwan should formalize its de facto independence.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Let's see...about the only countries that BushCo haven't pissed off now are Britain and Australia. Wonder when he plans on taking care of that?

Hey the man is about to lose his job, he's got to make sure he leaves enought of a legacy for the next guy to clean up and kept busy for the next 4 years right?
No matter who we get into the White House, we're screwed for the next 10 years. It will take a long time for the world to thaw their perception of the US.
