Total/Chirac/China visit



Imagine President Clinton visiting China for the opening of a new Unocal
oil refinery. Well, French President Chirac is expected in mid-May to
open TOTAL's hydrocarbon refinery in the port of Dalian, formerly
Manchuria's Port Arthur. It is considered one of the most modern
refineries in Asia, unique in China, and considered without equivalent
in the region, and part of China's aggressive modernisation.TOTAL's CEO
Thierry Desmarest travelled with Mr Jacques Chirac last year on his trip
to Asia highlighting French industrial technology.

EuroBurmanet encourages your writing represenatatives of the French
government in protest of this visit by Chirac to TOTAL when TOTAL is a
condemned by human rights groups worldwide for its gas pipeline in Burma
and support of the ruling illegal military drug junta SLORC.

that  you too should be able to find on the site)
