日本報告稱：崛起的中國不把鄰國放在眼裡

Rising China disregarding neighbours: Japan study

OKYO: The rising might of China is causing it to act with increasing disregard towards itsneighbours, a Japanese government-funded studysaid Friday.

東京：周五，日本政府撥款的一項研究聲稱實力與日俱增的中國越來越不把鄰國放在眼裡。

"China, against the backdrop of its rising national power and improvement in its military power, is increasingly taking actions that can cause frictions with neighbouring countries without fear," said the East Asian Strategic Review.

「依仗其不斷增長的國力軍力，中國的行動越發肆無忌憚，無視引發與鄰國間摩擦的可能性和後果。」《東亞戰略概觀》這樣寫道。

The study, being published Friday by the National Institute for Defence Studies, is an annual venture commissioned by Japan's Defence Ministry, and influences national defence policy.

這份每年由日本防衛省發布的研究報告來自日本防衛廳防衛研究所，對日本國防政策有相當的影響力。

Beijing and Tokyo have been at diplomatic daggers drawn since September when Japan nationalised some islands it controls in the East China Sea.

自從九月份日本將東中國海的某些島嶼國有化以來，中日在外交層面上劍拔弩張。

The Senkakus, which Beijing claims as the Diaoyus, are uninhabited but resource-rich and strategically-important islands that have been the scene of confrontations between government ships from both sides over several months.

尖閣諸島，中國則稱之為釣魚島，是個不適合居住然而資源豐富的戰略性島嶼。至今，兩國艦隻已在此對峙達數月之久。

However, the report noted, China's preparedness for pushing its territorial claims was on the rise well before Tokyo angered it with the island nationalisation.

然而，報告指出，早在日方對這些島嶼實行國有化觸怒中國之前，中國就作好了推行其領土主張的準備。

In January last year Beijing classed the archipelago as a "core interest", ranking it alongside Tibet and Taiwan as an issue over which it would never give ground, the study said.

報告指出：去年一月份，北京將釣魚群島列為中國核心利益，上升到與XZ和台灣並列的高度，沒有妥協退讓的餘地。



It is not only China's relationship with Japan that is becoming complicated, the report said, with Beijing's ostensible strategic partner Russia also becoming wary of its neighbour's rising power.

報告稱，不僅中日關係日趨複雜，與中國貌合神離的俄羅斯聯邦同樣對其強大鄰居的力量增長心生警惕。

Despite Xi Jinping choosing to take his first foreign trip as China's president to Russia for a summit with his counterpart Vladimir Putin, the "Russo-Chinese strategic partnership is more complex than it appears", the study said.

報告指出中俄關係比看起來要複雜得多，雖然新帝登基選擇首訪莫斯科與普京會晤。

"An equal relationship can hardly be maintained with China's GDP at more than four times Russia's," it added, saying that the imbalance was leading Moscow to shore up previously fragile relations with Japan.

「中國GDP總量相當於俄羅斯的四倍，這種背景下不可能存在真正對等的雙邊關係。」報告中還提到，正是這種實力的不平衡迫使莫斯科修補脆弱的俄日關係。



"At recent bilateral summit meetings and foreign ministerial conferences between Russia and Japan, Moscow has persistently requested that Tokyo cooperate in security matters, particularly maritime security," the study said.

「在最近的雙邊外交部長級會議上，莫斯科堅持要求與日本在安全事務特別是海上安全方面進行合作。」報告稱。

"Recognition that China's maritime activities on the high seas will expand in a northerly direction in the near future is a factor motivating Russia to seek cooperation with Japan and the United States."

「俄羅斯認為中國在公海的活動在不久的將來會向北拓展，因此它尋求與日本和美國合作。
