French diplomats have of course informed China about the reluctance of other European countries about lifting the arms embargo, which was imposed after the massacre in Tiananmen Square in 1989. China then simply threatened to abandon or never to conclude trade deals with these EU members.
剩下的就是一个经济讹诈的问题。法国的外交官们当然向中国通报了其他欧洲国家在解除武器禁运方面的尴尬。这一禁运是在1989年天安门大屠杀以后实施的。中国那时就威胁要撤销或停止与这些欧盟国家的贸易。
