和评理｜炒作中国威胁就是“政治正确”？美国肆意妄为危害全球经济

China Daily  

在如今的美国华盛顿，但凡要论中国对美国构成的“国家安全威胁”，政客们显然都不需要 “言之有据”了，这样的论调本身已经成为了“政治正确”。 这种心态在最近美国政客们的行为中再次得到体现。日前，美国国会众议院“中国特别委员会”主席迈克·加拉格尔和该委员会民主党领袖拉贾·克里希纳穆尔蒂致函美国联邦通信委员会（FCC），提出由中国企业制造的蜂窝通信模块等存在“潜在安全问题”。制造这些模块的中企包括移远通信、广和通。加拉格尔与克里希纳穆尔蒂敦促FCC解决问题。 据路透社报道，在这封写给FCC主席杰西卡·罗森沃塞尔的信中，加拉格尔与克里希纳穆尔蒂“警告”称，如果美国的医疗设备、车辆和农场用设备中使用了中国制造的蜂窝通信模块，中国将可以“远程访问和控制”这些设备。 但是，美国先遣急救员网络管理局的有关负责人，以及中国有关设备制造企业的知情人士却都表示，就先遣急救员网络而言，中国制造的模块在被内置入该机构的认证设备时，就已经被锁定，没有向中国方面发送过任何数据。 先遣急救员网络管理局通信主管瑞安·奥雷姆兰在一份提供给《新闻周刊》的书面回复中表示，确保先遣急救员网络的安全性是该机构的“第一要务”。他强调，该机构有一套“强效流程”，其中包含了大量的测试，用以确保该网络的安全性维持在最高水准，并确保任何用于该网络的设备维持在最高安全水准。 但就华盛顿当前的叙事思路以及政治话语体系而言，问题并不是要论证中国企业制造的技术设备是否真的对美国国家安全构成威胁，而是要看政客们能否“提出质疑”，以证明他们“热衷”并积极参与维护重要领域的美国国家安全。 “威胁国家安全或对国家安全构成潜在威胁”，如今已经沦为华盛顿政客们的一种话术，借此彰显自己的“道德品格”。2022年9月，FCC以2019年颁布的一项旨在保护美国通信网络安全的法律为依据，将中资电信企业太平洋网络有限公司及其全资子公司信通，以及中国联通美洲公司列入“威胁国家安全名单”。 2021年3月，FCC初步将华为、中兴、海康威视、大华等五家中国公司列入“受管制清单”。针对这项举措FCC没有提供任何支撑依据，此举本就是为了对中国企业“围追堵截”。 华盛顿方面出于政治目的对中国企业的种种做法，歪曲了市场规则、破坏了公平竞争。中国电信通讯企业遭受的不公平对待，也将导致全球产业和供应链受损，并毫无疑问地将会伤害到美国经济自身的发展。 面对中国企业遭遇的不公平对待，中国不会坐视不管。但美国挑起全球最大两个经济体之间的针锋相对，对全球经济来说绝不会是什么好兆头。 本文译自《中国日报》8月10日社论 原标题：World burns on US' stake of political correctness 出品：中国日报社论编辑室 编译：涂恬 编辑：李海鹏 【责任编辑：涂恬】
