《纽约时报》的这篇报道主要内容是:北约领导人首次指责中国为俄罗斯提供攻击乌克兰的武器,并呼吁中国不要支持俄罗斯的战争行为。报道援引了北约秘书长斯托尔滕贝格的话,称中国正在通过传播谎言来从俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争行为中获利,并指责中国为俄罗斯提供政治支持,包括散布关于俄罗斯发动战争的虚假指控。 评论:该报道存在一定偏见,其对中国立场的描述有失片面。首先,报道没有提供中国为俄罗斯提供武器的直接证据,仅基于北约领导人的言论;其次,报道忽视了中国在乌克兰问题上一直以来秉持的客观公正立场,以及中国为促进俄乌和谈早日停火所做出的努力;此外,报道也没有提及中国一直强调的主权原则和乌克兰局势的历史经纬。该报道过于倾向于西方视角,忽略了中国立场和中国所发挥的积极作用,有失客观公正。作为媒体,报道一方立场的同时,也应展示多元观点,让读者全面了解事实,做出独立判断。
After decades of viewing China as a distant threat, NATO on Wednesday accused Beijing of becoming “a decisive enabler of Russia’s war against Ukraine,” and demanded that it halt shipments of “weapons components” and other technology critical to the rebuilding of the Russian military.
The statement is contained in a declaration approved by the 32 leaders of the alliance, shortly before they headed to a dinner at the White House on Wednesday night. It is a major departure for NATO, which until 2019 never officially mentioned China as a concern, and then only in the blandest of language.
Now, for the first time, the alliance has joined in Washington’s denunciations of China’s military support for Russia.
But the declaration contains an implicit threat that China’s growing support for Russia will come at a cost. China “cannot enable the largest war in Europe in recent history without this negatively impacting its interests and reputation,” the declaration said, particularly calling out “its large-scale support for Russia’s defense industrial base.”
The NATO declaration did not specify what those costs would be, although the natural first step would be economic sanctions that barred China from parts of global markets.
Even a year ago, European leaders were hesitant to challenge Beijing, especially nations like Germany that view China as a critical market for high-end cars and luxury goods.
