和评理 | 七国集团外长联合声明抹黑中国 “双标”明显

China Daily

不久之前，在巴西里约热内卢举行的二十国集团峰会上，七国集团领导人似乎都一致投票赞成通过加强国际团结和维护多边主义来解决共同挑战，并且宣布要与其他国家共同努力携手“构建公正的世界和可持续的星球”。然而，七国集团外长本周在意大利发表的联合声明却揭示出他们采取了分而治之的态度。在联合声明中，“我们承诺”、“我们关切”等字眼频频出现，但其底色却是七国集团理所当然地把世界分成了“我们”和其余的人。在其双重标准之下，“我们”这七国是无辜的，而其余的人都是不负责任的。以联合声明中与中国有关的部分为例，在谈及乌克兰危机、朝鲜半岛紧张局势到东海及南海局势紧张升级等不同的问题时，大约有30次提出对中国表示关切。七国集团外长甚至毫无顾忌地干涉台湾问题以及新疆、西藏和香港的所谓“人权”问题，而这些都是中国的内政。即便是这样，联合声明中还在厚颜无耻地呼吁中国“不要进行或纵容旨在破坏其安全和保障”及其“民主”机制完整性的活动，要“严格按照《维也纳外交关系公约》和《维也纳领事关系公约》规定的义务行事”。联合声明本身不正揭示了到底是谁在做这样的事吗？七国集团在处理地缘政治和经济问题上的“双标”显而易见，声明中对新疆穆斯林处境表达严重关切，却对中东人民的苦难视而不见，就是明显的例证。七国集团声称中国与邻国之间的正常贸易往来助长了俄乌冲突和朝鲜半岛核问题，却避而不谈自己也是冲突和问题的起因，并且导致危机延宕的事实。声明中还对南海“危险机动和水炮使用越来越多深表关切”，却没有提到七国集团鼓励菲律宾一再上演“我来、我停、我偷”的把戏，将一艘旧战舰停在中国的岛礁上，制造岛礁及周边海域属于菲律宾的假象。声明呼吁中国不要限制关键材料和商品的出口，同时又以“去风险”为由自己这样做，声称中国的举动是“经济胁迫”，而自己的行为则是对前者“必要和适当”的回应。在“承认中国在全球贸易中的重要性”的同时，却指责中国不按规则办事。至于遵守哪些规则、无视哪些规则，一切都是由七国集团自己说了算。哪个国家挑起贸易摩擦，哪些国家盲目跟风，七国集团也不想让人关注。尽管七国集团极力粉饰，罕见说出“我们寻求与中国建立建设性的稳定关系”和“我们重申愿意与中国合作应对全球挑战”等言论，但其内容与七国集团在过去四年来发布的同类声明并无不同。在七国集团外长会的合影中，即将卸任的美国国务卿站在最边缘。这很不常见，也暗示了一个现实，那就是新一届美国政府对华政策如何，七国集团的其他成员也都在拭目以待。希望七国集团在声明中所说的寻求“与中国进行建设性和稳定的接触”以及愿意与中国合作应对全球挑战不只是空话。本文编译自《中国日报》11月28日社论原文标题：G7 joint statement lays bare its 'change of US administration' holding pattern 编译：王晗出品：中国日报社论编辑室中国日报中文网【责任编辑：王辉】
