Sarko –Great Salesmanship
According to the Libération (link below), the contract of the 102 Airbuses sales that the French and Chinese signed during Hu’s visit at the end of 2010 is really just about 66 new sales. The rest 36 were already announced in a Memorandum of Understanding during Sarkozy’s 2007 visit to China and thereafter signed for sales.
So by including these 36 planes previously signed in the new contract, the number looks good but fuzzy! Person familiar with this type of commercial diplomacy says that this sort of deals is not uncommon in China. So how many of this happened before?
What a show the Chinese and the French put on in the Elysée!
Same airplane, twice sold to Chinese!Deal!
