和评理｜回归初心恪守承诺，为中加关系注入积极动能

周一，美国当选总统特朗普威胁称，因毒品和非法移民问题，他将在1月20日就职后向加拿大和墨西哥加征25%的关税，向中国加征10%的关税。墨西哥和中国立刻做出回应，称如果上述关税生效，将采取反制措施，同时表示愿意进行谈判。特朗普发表加征关税言论一天后，加拿大总理特鲁多与特朗普进行了“良好通话”，并于周三召集加拿大各省省长召开紧急会议，商讨美国加征关税问题，寻求成立“统一战线”。 “最重要的事情之一，就是要齐心协力。只有加拿大团结一致，才能解决问题。”特鲁多表示。特朗普威胁对加拿大加征关税后，部分加拿大省长对特鲁多的指责，不比对特朗普的少。加拿大联邦委员会主席、安大略省省长道格·福特（Doug Ford）周二在新闻发布会上表示，特朗普的关税威胁非常严重。他同时表示，一旦特朗普将威胁付诸行动，加拿大别无选择，只能采取报复——而这恰恰是特鲁多尚未提及的。反对党领袖皮埃尔·普瓦列夫尔（Pierre Poilievre）周二指责特鲁多政府对特朗普的关税威胁毫无招架之力。他呼吁下议院进行紧急辩论，并要求特鲁多采取措施，以便在新的威胁面前支撑经济。在过去几年里，加拿大几乎在所有重大问题上盲从美国，特别是对华政策，而中国恰恰是加拿大除美国以外的主要贸易伙伴。面对特朗普的关税威胁，特鲁多政府应当反思，在跟随美国的过程中，加拿大得到了什么？ 7月份，加拿大外长乔利访华，中加关系显现出积极变化，但两国互利共赢的经贸关系于8月发生改变，起因是加拿大继美国之后，对中国电动汽车和绿色产品征收100%关税。此外，加拿大不断干涉中国内政，炒作中国所谓的人权问题。中加关系近几年来起伏不定，特鲁多政府应当从中吸取教训，看到在处理国际关系时，坚持战略自主才符合加方利益。仅今年以来，中加两国外长分别在慕尼黑、北京和利马举行了三次会晤，并通过其他方式保持密切沟通。期间，加方均表示将致力于推动加中关系发展，并表示加方愿妥善处理分歧，在多边机制中保持密切合作，共同为解决全球性问题多做工作。加拿大政府应该说到做到。加拿大省长们回应特朗普的关税威胁时，也应该促使特鲁多政府反思加拿大对华加征关税的无理行为。同时，特鲁多政府应想想，仅靠口头承诺是否足以履行其对华关系的“承诺”。中加关系曾长期走在中国同西方国家关系前列。两国有着广泛的共同利益，没有根本利害冲突。中方愿与加方一道，本着求同存异的精神妥善处理分歧，本着平等互惠的原则加强合作。中加两国不是对手，更不是敌人，应该成为合作伙伴。中加经济高度互补，有着良好的合作潜力。中加制度、文化不同，应当相互尊重，彼此借鉴。明年是中加建立战略伙伴关系20周年。双方应回归初心，从历史中吸取经验教训，切实恪守建交承诺，为两国关系恢复正常注入动能。本文编译自《中国日报》11月29日社论原标题：Time to reflect on wisdom of being US acolyte 出品：中国日报社论编辑室中国日报中文网编译：曹静编辑：李海鹏【责任编辑：曹静】
