As Tom Lantos, a Democratic US Congressman from California, put it, the move to lift the ban on arms exports to China clearly shows that the EU has “lost its moral compass.” Lantos knows about moral compasses: as a boy, he was rescued by Raoul Wallenberg from being deported to Auschwitz by the Nazis in Budapest.
正如一位来自加利福尼亚州的美国民主党国会议员，Tom Lantos所言，解除对中国的武器禁运的意图清楚地表明欧盟已经“丧失了它的道德指南”。Lantos对此深有体会：年幼的他正是在Raoul Wallenberg的援救之下才摆脱了被布达佩斯的纳粹送入奥斯威辛集中营的厄运。
