基廷重申“一個(gè)中國” 澳學(xué)者：澳應(yīng)勸美國放棄在亞太謀霸權(quán)丨世界觀

　　近期，澳大利亞前總理基廷在澳大利亞廣播公司(ABC)時(shí)政訪談節(jié)目《7.30》痛批現(xiàn)政府的國防和外交政策拋棄工黨傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀，并表示，美國人說要保護(hù)臺灣，可實(shí)際上臺灣是中國的“地產(chǎn)”。就此，中新網(wǎng)采訪了澳大利亞前總理陸克文政策顧問、太和智庫高級研究員鮑韶山(Warwick Powell)。

　　鮑韶山認(rèn)為，事實(shí)上，基廷的觀點(diǎn)并不是全新的，也代表了澳大利亞50多年來的長久立場。受美國影響，澳大利亞外交和國防政策的操作空間十分有限。他表示，澳大利亞應(yīng)盡力勸說美國放棄對亞太地區(qū)霸主地位的執(zhí)念，否則只能給亞洲的地區(qū)穩(wěn)定、和平和發(fā)展帶來威脅。

　　他總結(jié)道，基廷的觀點(diǎn)把這些問題清楚地重新提到澳大利亞國家議程上，對澳大利亞和整個(gè)亞洲地區(qū)來說，都是一種貢獻(xiàn)。(記者 陳天浩)

　　Australia’s former Prime Minister Paul Keating told ABC’s 7.30 that “Taiwan is not a vital Australian interest” and it is “Chinese real estate”, saying that both the U.S. and Australia subscribed to the one-China policy and had done so for decades. During an interview with China News Network, Warwick Powell, former policy advisor to Kevin Rudd and a senior fellow at Taihe Institute, says that Keating’s view has been a long-standing Australian view in place for over 50 years.

　　Powell adds that the agency envelope for Australia's foreign and defense policy has been constrained by the ways the U.S. articulated its concerns.

　　According to Powell, Australia is better positioned to persuade Washington that reclaiming primacy in the Asia-Pacific is no longer viable or realistic. Instead, America’s pursuit is a threat to regional stability, peace, and prosperity.

　　Keating's interjections, by putting these issues fairly and squarely back onto the national agenda, is a service to Australia and the region, Powell concludes. (Chen Tianhao)
