So the European Union has had an arms embargo on China since the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989, but it needs to be renewed periodically and there is a group of European states, seemingly lead by Spain and France, that have long been in favor of repealing it. It came close to happening in 2004, and the interesting thing is that the UK actually supported it. Let's say that intense lobbying by pro-repeal states convinces the holdouts and it is repealed in 2004. What weapons systems would China buy? How much stronger relative to OTL would this make them? What would the effects of this be?

I have my opinion but I was curious to hear everyone else's thoughts.
