Washington, says new Secretary of State Antony Blinken
新任美國國安東尼· 布林肯說美中關系對華盛頓來說“可能是”世界上最重要的

4.完整新聞內容︰
China looks set to remain a central feature of the United States' foreign po
licy under Joe Biden, with newly appointed US Secretary of State Antony Blin
ken saying on Wednesday that Washington's relationship with Beijing is "argu
ably the most important ... that we have in the world".


Speaking at his first press conference since being confirmed in his new posi
tion by the Senate on Tuesday, Blinken highlighted areas, like climate chang
e, in which it was important for the two nations to "try to work together" b
ut did not gloss over the conflict that existed between them.

"Increasingly, (the US-China) relationship has some adversarial aspects to i
t," he said. "It also still has cooperative ones, and the cooperative ones a
re in areas where it's in our mutual interest to try to work together, inclu
ding manifestly on climate, where it's in the interest of China and the inte
rest of the United States and countries around the world to make concrete pr
ogress in combating global warming."


Despite Blinken putting China at the top of his list of key relationships, h
e has yet to speak to his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi.
盡管布林肯把中國放在他重要關系清單的首位，但他還沒有與中國外長王毅交談。

Within hours of his confirmation, Blinken called Japan's Foreign Minister To
shimitsu Motegi and South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha, in which
he stressed that cooperation between Washington, Seoul and Tokyo was essenti
al to maintain "a free and open Indo-Pacific region".
布林肯在確認消息后數小時內致電日本外務大臣茂木敏充和韓國外交部長康京和，強調
華盛頓、首爾和東京之間的合作對于維持“自由開放的印太地區”至關重要。

Blinken's two other calls immediately after his confirmation were to Mexican
 Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard and Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau
. He called his counterparts in Britain, France and Germany on Wednesday.
布林肯在確認上任后立即給墨西哥外長埃布拉德和加拿大外長加諾打了另外兩個電話。
他周三致電英國、法國和德國的同行。

The quick outreach to the four countries underscores the pledges President J
oe Biden has made during his election campaign and since he won the contest
in November to "build coalitions of like-minded partners and allies".
與這四個國家的快速聯絡，突顯了拜登總統在競選期間以及自去年11月贏得大選以來所
作的承諾，即“建立志同道合的伙伴和盟友聯盟”。

"It makes sense diplomatically that Blinken's first calls in Asia would be t
o Japan and South Korea, by way of reassuring those allies, but also by way
of generating buy-in from these countries whose support in the region is cru
cial for dealing with China," said Sarah Kreps, a government and law profess
or at Cornell University.


"Blinken's tone is consistent with the new tenor that the Biden administrati
on is trying to herald both abroad and at home," she said. "Abroad, it means
 trying to mend some of the alliances bruised after several years of an admi
nistration that was quick to rattle sabres and question alliances.
她說：“布林肯的語氣與拜登政府試圖在國內外宣揚的新基調是一致的。”這意味著，
在（川普）政府幾年來質疑和敲詐盟友之后，要努力修補一些與盟友受損的關系。

"It may be necessary to talk a harder line if the emphasis on diplomatic ove
rtures doesn't succeed, but the more constructive tone we're seeing now is a
 solid foundation for some of the tougher negotiations, such as on climate,
that are to come."
“如果外交努力不成功，就有必要采取更強硬的立場，但我們現在看到的更具建設性的
基調是未來一些更艱難談判的堅實基礎，比如氣候談判。”

Other incoming Biden administration officials signalled a hard line against
Beijing earlier on Wednesday.
其他即將上任的拜登政府官員周三早些時候表示將對北京采取強硬態度。

Special presidential climate envoy John Kerry, for example, vowed that Washi
ngton would not compromise on outstanding issues with the Chinese government
, such as human rights and intellectual property protection, in exchange for
 cooperation on efforts to arrest global warming.
例如，美國總統氣候特使克里（John Kerry）誓言，華盛頓不會在人權和知識產權保護
等懸而未決的問題上與中國政府妥協，以換取在遏制全球變暖方面的合作。

"We have serious differences with China on some very, very important issues,
" Kerry told reporters in Washington. "The issues of theft of intellectual p
roperty and access to markets, the South China Sea. Run the list; we all kno
w them. Those issues will never be traded for anything that has to do with c
limate."

As secretary of state under former president Barack Obama, Kerry founded the
 US-China Climate Change Working Group with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jie
chi and helped broker negotiations with Beijing that ultimately paved the wa
y for the Paris climate agreement.
作為前總統奧巴馬（Barack Obama）任內的國務卿，克里與中國外長楊潔篪成立了美中
氣候變化工作組，并幫助促成了與北京的談判，最終為《巴黎氣候協議》鋪平了道路。

Biden made rejoining the climate accord, which his predecessor Donald Trump
withdrew from in 2017, one of his first tasks after taking his oath of offic
e last week.
拜登把重新加入巴黎氣候協定作為上周宣誓就職后的首要任務之一，他的前任唐納德·
川普在2017年退出了該協議。

However, leaders and lawmakers in both political parties in the US are mostl
y aligned on taking the Chinese government to task for its internment of Uyg
urs and other Muslim minorities in facilities described by Beijing's critics
 as "concentration camps" and by Chinese officials as "re-education camps".
然而，美國兩黨領導人和立法者大多一致認為，中國政府將維吾爾族和其他穆斯林少數
民族關押在北京批評者稱之為“集中營”和中國官員稱之為“再教育營”的設施中。

Blinken's predecessor Mike Pompeo announced his determination that the situa
tion constitutes genocide as one of his final acts this month before leaving
 his post. Pompeo sanctioned a number of high-ranking Chinese government off
icials for policies in Xinjiang in the last few months of his tenure.


Last year, the Uygur Human Rights Policy Act - introduced by Republican Flor
ida Senator Marco Rubio and Democratic New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez - bec
ame law.
去年，由共和黨佛羅里達州參議員馬可· 魯比奧和民主黨新澤西州參議員鮑勃· 梅內德
斯提出的《維吾爾族人權政策法案》成為法律。

As Blinken spoke on Wednesday, Rubio and Jeff Merkley, a Democrat who sits o
n the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, reintroduced their Uygur Forced La
bour Prevention Act, which would require US importers of Chinese goods to en
sure that there is no forced labour involved in the manufacture of products
they buy from the country.


The Biden administration also appeared to move closer to Pompeo's stance aga
inst Chinese telecoms equipment manufacturer Huawei Technologies on Wednesda
y as White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the company's products a n
ational security threat.
拜登政府周三的表態似乎也更接近蓬佩奧對中國電信設備制造商華為的立場，白宮新聞
秘書普薩基（Jen Psaki）稱該公司的產品是國家安全威脅。

"Telecommunications equipment made by untrusted vendors, including Huawei, i
s a threat to the security of the US and our allies," Psaki told White House
 reporters. "We'll ensure that the American telecommunications networks do n
ot use equipment from untrusted vendors and we'll work with allies to secure
 their telecommunications networks."


Pompeo made his "Clean Network" initiative, which sought to curtail the infl
uence of Chinese tech firms on the development of data networks around the w
orld, a key part of his agenda.
蓬佩奧提出了“清潔網絡”倡議，這一倡議旨在減少中國科技公司對全球數據網絡發展
的影響，這是他議程的一個關鍵部分。

Britain, Sweden and several central and eastern European countries have plan
s to purge Chinese equipment from its 5G networks in the next seven years. G
ermany, France, Italy and other major European countries have moved to dissu
ade their companies from transacting with Huawei, and have placed tighter re
strictions on its 5G networks that create obstacles for Huawei in those mark
ets.



心得：
拜登禁止在國內說中國病毒，新任國務卿布林肯一上臺就把中國列為美國最重要的外交
關系，蓬佩奧和川普兩個胖子要氣死了吧XD
