中國對聯合國對朝新制裁表示擔憂

China insisted on Tuesday that new UN sanctions against North Korea agreed were not aimed at destabilising the country, as it aired its growing concerns over the 「explosive」 situation in its communist neighbour.

中國周二堅稱，聯合國(UN)通過的對朝新制裁併不是為了破壞朝鮮的穩定。中國還表示，它對這個共產主義鄰國「充滿了火藥味」的局勢日益感到擔憂。

In comments clearly aimed at the US, Wang Yi, foreign minister, used tough language to describe Beijing』s fears as he warned of the consequences of provoking unrest.

在對朝鮮半島生亂的後果發出警告時，中國外長王毅（上圖）使用了嚴厲的措辭來描述北京方面的擔心，他的表態顯然是針對美國的。

「China will not sit by and watch if there is fundamental destruction of stability on the Korean peninsula,」 said Mr Wang at a briefing held during the National People』s Congress, the annual meeting of the country』s rubber-stamp legislature.

「中方不會坐視半島穩定受到根本破壞，」王毅在中國全國人大會議期間舉行的一次記者會上表示，「不會坐視中方的安全利益受到無端損害。」他強烈敦促各方「理性克制，不要再激化矛盾」。

The unusually blunt Chinese remarks included 「language that they use when their bottom line is pretty close to being reached」, said Bonnie Glaser, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

華盛頓戰略與國際問題研究中心(CSIS)的中國問題專家葛萊儀(Bonnie Glaser)表示，中方此次異常直率的表態包含「他們在底線就要被觸及時會使用的措辭」。

North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test in January and a long-range rocket launch last month, triggering a UN Security Council resolution and tough new sanctions.

朝鮮在今年1月進行了第四次核試驗，並在上月發射了一枚遠程火箭，促使聯合國安理會通過決議、對該國實施嚴厲的新制裁。

But with the wording of last week』s resolution vague, the US and China have diverging interpretations about what it means. The US has taken it as a commitment to tough measures aimed at isolating Pyongyang economically, while Beijing — which has been the conduit for most of North Korea』s foreign trade — has said it will only enforce sanctions specifically targeting Pyongyang』s ability to make weapons.

但是，由於上周聯合國決議的措辭有些含糊，美中兩國對決議的含義產生了不同的解讀。美國認為，決議是要各方致力於採取嚴厲措施來從經濟上孤立朝鮮，而中國——一直充當著朝鮮大部分對外貿易的管道——則表示，它將只執行那些專門針對朝鮮武器製造能力的制裁。

「Blind faith in sanctions and pressure?.?.?.?are not a responsible approach for the future of the Korean peninsula,」 said Mr Wang.

「一味迷信制裁和施壓……實際上是對半島的未來不負責任，」王毅說。
