China to buy Eurofighters?

item: In October, a Chinese official report called for greater trade
with the EU, and for the EU's arms embrago against China to be
lifted.

item: German foreign minister Gerhard Schroder recently visited 
China and said arms embrago should be lifted.

item: a spokesman for EADS (large European arms manufacturer, which 
is one of the main partners in Eurofighter) recently called for the 
embargo to end.

Any speculation as to what weapons China wants to buy? I think the 
Eurofighter. Also on the shopping list might be ASRAAM, Meteor and
ASTER anti-aircraft missiles.
