China has become Europe’s biggest trading partner, and its huge reserves of US dollars has made it America’s most important creditor. Despite this rosy picture, China could be the cause of a major transatlantic row if Europeans make good on their intention to lift the arms export embargo in place since the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989.
大西洋两岸与中国的关系随着时间的推移都有所改善。中国已经成为欧洲最大的贸易伙伴，其巨额的美元储备使之成为美国最重要的债权国。尽管前景光明，但如果欧洲真的实践解除其自1989年天安门事件以来就对中国实施的武器禁运的意图，那么中国就可能成为欧美之间发生争执的重要原因。
