BEIJING, March 4 (UPI) — Chinese officials asked U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, who was on an official visit to Beijing, to stop U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

Negroponte met with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo and Vice Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, Xinhua, the official government news agency, said. He reportedly pledged that the United States remains committed to a one-China policy.

During his Asian trip, Negroponte is also scheduled to visit South Korea and Japan. Xinhua reported that Negroponte will discuss North Korea's nuclear program during his visit.

The trip is Negroponte's first since being sworn in Tuesday. Copyright © 2007 by United Press International

make Taiwan nuclear, and they should come up with some decent rocketry - it will provide for a long breather and will cool the things.

We just didn't say which China would be the one.

The US rejected their demands. The sell goes on.

We ask China to adhere to the trade agreements they signed. They spit in our face.

The US needs to act in it's own best interest. Be assured the Chinese always will.

Agreed. Stabbing your friend in the back and kissing commies butts never was a good idea.
