Det skyldes tre ting, nemlig at menneskerettighedssituationen i nævnte land er klart utilfredsstillende, hvilket flere ngo 'er har påpeget ved flere lejligheder, at en udvidelse af det militære marked, eftersom Kina er verdens største importør af konventionelle våben, ville betyde et større våbenkapløb i regionen, og endelig de mange risici for, at der sker en forværring af visse uløste konflikter, f.eks. mellem Kina og Taiwan, eller det konstante kinesiske pres på Tibet.
There are at least three reasons for this: the clearly unsatisfactory human rights situation in that country, which has been condemned many times by several NGOs; the fact that, since China is the world’ s top importer of conventional arms, broadening the military market even further would undoubtedly speed up the arms race in the region and, finally, the numerous risks of aggravating certain unresolved conflicts such as that between China and Taiwan or the pressure being put on Tibet – which has yet to be clarified.
