soon as next week, the administration will decide on a package of new arms exports for Taiwan. Taiwan has requested sophisticated Aegis shipboard radars, PAC-3 anti-missile systems, diesel submarines, P-3 anti-submarine aircraft, and other advanced equipment — all opposed by Beijing."That is a completely separate and distinct matter," the administration official said. "No decisions have been made yet. The president has not received any recommendations."Nevertheless, he said in making this decision, the administration will "take into account the strategic environment." In other words, China's recent military buildup, aggressiveness, and actions will factor into the arms sales decisions.Some observers cite the potential arms sales as one reason China might back down soon rather than let long-term relations suffer.

Descend, for you must be my torchbearer.
JESSICA
What, must I hold a candle to my shames?They in themselves, good-sooth, are too too light.Why, 'tis an office of discovery, love;And I should be obscured.
LORENZO
So are you, sweet,Even in the lovely garnish of a boy.But come at once;For the close night doth play the runaway,And we are stay'd for at Bassanio's feast.
JESSICA
I will make fast the doors, and gild myselfWith some more ducats, and be with you straight.

Now, by my hood, a Gentile and no Jew.

Beshrew me but I love her heartily;For she is wise, if I can judge of her,And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true,And true she is, as she hath proved herself,And therefore, like herself, wise, fair and true,Shall she be placed in my constant soul.
