Quote:

"中国在赵紫阳和胡耀邦主政的改革开放时期，军方曾经于1984年7月从美国进口了24架
黑鹰直升机。中国媒体称黑鹰直升机是目前解放军序列中唯一为大众所熟知的美式装备
，也是迄今为止解放军所拥有的高原性能最优秀的直升机，汶川地震救灾中，黑鹰直升
机在恶劣的高原气候中大显身手，受到高度评价。

"1989年六四之后，美国政府对中国实行武器禁运，因此原定中国进口100架黑鹰的计划
落了空。不过，据中国媒体报导，在1989年之后，中国一直能够从西科斯基公司购买维
修黑鹰所需的零部件，这占据美国对中国大陆的军事贸易的相当部分。据称由于中国的
黑鹰常用于中国高原地区的人道主义救援行动，因此美方并未反对向中方出售上述零部
件。


------------Separately
(1) Probably the above VOA report alludes to this.

(a) John Pomfret, U.S. sells weapons to Taiwan, angering China. Washington
Post, Jan. 30, 2010.

("But that [exclusion of F-16 C/D fighters] does not mean the Obama
administration has rejected Taiwan's request for the advanced fighters to
replace its aging air force. The Defense Department is drawing up a report
on the air power balance between China and Taiwan that could be used to push
a decision.")

My comment: The last two paragraph of this Washington Post report (that US
rejects China's request to buy Black Hawk spare parts) seems to contradict
VOA.

(b) John Pomfret, China's strident tone raises concerns among Western
governments, analysts. Washington Post, Jan. 31, 2010.

My comment: "And it was his [Xie Zhenhua's] finger-pointing outburst at
President Obama behind closed doors at Copenhagen that arguably did more
than any other single recent event to turn Western opinion away from
engaging China to fearing it."
