Taiwan Vice President Annette Lu speaks at a news conference in Taipei on August 22, 2003. Lu said the decision by Taiwan's China Airlines to buy engines from U.S. General Electric Co instead of Britain's Rolls-Royce Plc was a commercial one, and said the European Union was politicizing the issue by saying it could damage relations with Taiwan. The European Commission on Thursday called on Taiwan to clarify why China Airlines decided to buy engines from GE rather than Rolls Royce, which, the EC said, had made a better offer.
