Default Import of Chinese scopes stalled ?

Can it happen ? Read:

"The sanctions imposed...produced an enormous adverse impact on the
normal trade of civilian products between NORINCO and its US
counterparts."

NORINCO is one of the suppliers of "thousands of good Chinese scopes".

PS Trolling a bit but who knows whether some big names can be adversely
impacted.. time to buy puts on Meade ?

I didn't see anything about scopes in the article.


Possibly no impact on astro goods trade. From a Washington Times article:
"The sanctions are largely symbolic because the companies involved in the
missile and chemical weapons trade are unlikely to conclude contracts with U.S.
government......The sanctions bar any U.S. government agency from doing
business with the companies and people."

Typical Bush administration paranoia.

There is always someone behind the next tree trying to use a WMD.

I love that term, WMD. So vague and meaningless!

Just more political bull from a group of paranoid idoits.
