Don't be surpised if they do, anyway.
They are behaving more like Saudi Arabia than a country with a properly planned defense procurement plan.

Macron did get the Aussies to cough up $800M in breakup fee.
Imagine Australia had picked the Soryus, let's see the Japanese throw the same hissy fit as the French did and tell the Aussies to pay up.

At the end of the day, those poems have endured throughout the ages because they both sound beautiful regardless of what dialect the reciter is using.
As I understand Hokkien is very similar to what was spoken during Tang and Song dynasties due to migration, wars and unrests. Eastern China in those periods were undeveloped and sparsely populated compared to Chang'an and surrounding regions i.e. today's Xi'an.
Expeditions were sent and wars were fought to pacify the east such that over time more people began settling there, bringing their languages and cultures to the region. When Tang fell, even more people fled to the eastern and southern regions. Decades of instability that followed meant most didn't return to Central China until Song was established.
Similar happenings with Song as it fell to the Mongols, forcing the imperial court south along with most of the populace.
So today's Hokkien shares more similarities with ancient Tang and Song 'official speech' mixed with local East and South Chinese dialects; whereas what's being spoken in the central provinces today is more their own distinct dialects that had developed over the centuries since, as the official Tang and Song speech became extinct in those parts in later dynasties.
At least that's what I had learned from my reading of Chinese history.

How many people in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand speak native languages? All four are English settler countries that had indigenous peoples as a majority initially.
To be the lackey of the U.S. and keeps antagonizing China won't help the U.K. the least bit.
I guess some European commentators are disappointed about Scholz's visit.
Accusing "the government control of TikTok and associated security risks" is the first step in America's attempt to either banning TikTock or forcing a sale of it, exactly like what they did to Toshiba and Alstom.
Don’t know about you Noah but staying employed is a pretty effing powerful shared value, at least among those of us who work honest jobs and worry about keeping our family fed and clothed.

Anti-immigrant, anti-African migrants French MP who is supposed to be of right wing flavour threw a "Go back to Africa" line to his fellow French parliamentarian, who happens to be of African heritage. He, like twisted pretzel tried to distance his remark aimed against migrants overflowing from Africa not at his fellow French politician.
Question: What do people like this anti-immigrants and not just anti-African think of the supposed genocide being committed against Chinese Uyghurs? Would they support an exodus of those minorities to settle into their country and European countries at large? if not, why not? What sort of practical solutions are they offering on the table that could be tangibly applied for those supposed oppressed people in China if not for resettlement and accommodation of their Islamic customs and practices which have already unsettled most of the French republic and other EU countries like Sweden, Germany, just to name a few.
Western people on both sides of the political spectrum are beyond irritating with their false allegations, criticisms against anything, and everything China, and it has nothing to do with China being run by the CPC. The animus against China is that it refuses to do the bidding of the west, by the west, and for the west. They have destroyed countries in the middle east, but have accepted none of the consequences but rather expects the rest of the world to shoulder the majority of the burden and suffering they helped created in the first place by assisting their grand daddy, the U.S.A.
