WASHINGTON (AP) — 美国高级官员星期三批评中国不分青红皂白地出售武器给流氓国家,指出北京把世界带入危险中。
Peter Rodman,国防部国际安全助理秘书,力劝中国重新评价他与朝鲜和伊朗的关系,这是两个以锁定美国为目标的发展远程核武器的国家。
“中国的行为在我们看来是危险的目光短浅之举”,Rodman告诉美国国会美中经济与安全审议委员会。“中国的扩散行为,过去和现在,总是缠绕着它,甚至会将它的政治利益带入危险境地。”
Rodman说美国注意到在中国有一个普遍的愿望,即向全世界所有的顾客转移广泛的技术。
他提及伊朗、苏丹、津巴布韦、古巴和委内瑞拉都,并把中国和朝鲜试射7颗导弹和叙利亚使用中国制造的巡航导弹击中以色列海军舰只联系在一起。
Rodman说,美国担心中国公司在伊朗试图建立自主生产的弹道导弹生产项目时已给予了帮助,中国希望和伊朗建立良好关系,以保障其石油和天然气通路,并且潜在的希望寻找一条控制国内不安分的穆斯林的方法。
中国说他反对武器技术和材料扩散并禁止中国公司转移此类材料。Rodman说北京通过改善出口控制法规及其漏洞加强了其不扩散的努力,但是还是做的不够。

U.S. officials accuse China of weapons proliferation
WASHINGTON (AP) — Top U.S. officials on Thursday criticized what they called China‘s indiscriminate sale of weapons to rogue countries, suggesting that Beijing‘s policies had made the world a more dangerous place.
Peter Rodman, assistant secretary of defense for international security, urged China to reevaluate its relationship with Iran and North Korea, two countries with which the United States is locked in standoffs over nuclear weapons development.
"China‘s actions seem to us dangerously shortsighted," Rodman told the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, an advisory panel created by Congress. "China‘s proliferation behavior, past and present, can come back to haunt it, even placing its own political interests in jeopardy."
The United States, Rodman said, sees "in China a general willingness to transfer a wide variety of technologies to customers around the world."
He mentioned Iran, Sudan, Myanmar, Zimbabwe, Cuba and Venezuela, and also linked China to North Korea‘s July missile test launch of seven missiles and to Hezbollah‘s use of Chinese-designed cruise missiles on an Israeli naval vessel, also in July.
Rodman said the United States worries that Chinese companies have helped Iran as it tries to establish a self-sufficient ballistic missile production program. China wants to build relations with Iran, Rodman said, to secure access to oil and gas and, potentially, to find ways to control China‘s restive Muslim population.
China says it opposes the spread of weapons technology and materials and that it forbids Chinese companies from transferring such material. And Rodman said that Beijing has strengthened its non-proliferation efforts by promoting export control laws and its oversight of those laws, but hasn‘t done enough.
