Australian Rio Tino executive held in China
澳洲力拓执行官在中国被拘留
July 8, 2009 - 2:09PM
2009年7月8日
Australia said it was seeking urgent access to an Australian executive of mining giant Rio Tinto who has been detained in China for unknown reasons along with three colleagues.
澳大利亚说它正在寻求通过紧急的途径与澳大利亚矿业巨头力拓的一名执行官取得联系，这名执行官和他的三位同事已被中国拘留，原因不明。
The executive, named by local media as Stern Hu, has reportedly been held in Shanghai since Sunday. Rio is currently engaged in high-stakes negotiations with China over lucrative iron ore contracts.
据当地媒体报道，这名执行官名叫斯特恩·胡，从周日起在上海被拘留。力拓目前正同中国进行高风险的谈判，以求获得利润丰厚的铁矿石合同。
"The Australian embassy in Beijing and our consulate-general in Shanghai have confirmed with the Chinese authorities that an Australian employee of Rio Tinto Australia has been detained," a foreign affairs spokeswoman said in a statement.
“澳大利亚驻北京大使馆和驻上海总领馆正寻求中国有关方面证实那名澳大利亚力拓集团澳籍雇员已被拘留。”外国事务发言人在一份声明中说。
"We are seeking urgent consular access (and are) not yet able to comment on the reason for his detention," she said, adding Australian officials were in contact with Hu's family and his employer.
“我们正在寻求通过紧急的领事途径与其取得联系，我们尚不能对他被拘留的原因发表评论。”她补充说，澳大利亚官员已与胡的家人和雇主取得了联系。
The Anglo-Australian company earlier announced that four male staff had been detained in Shanghai but said the reason remained "unclear." Australian reports said the other three men were Chinese passport-holders.
这家英澳合资公司早些时候宣布，4名男性员工在上海被拘留，但同时表示他们被拘留的原因仍然“未明”。澳大利亚称其他三名男子持中国护照。
"It appears four employees from Rio Tinto's Shanghai office have been detained for questioning by the Chinese authorities in Shanghai," Rio said in a statement from London.
“看起来这四名雇员已被中国有关方面从力拓公司驻上海办事处逮捕讯问。”力拓在一份发自伦敦的声明中说。
"The reasons for these actions are unclear. Rio Tinto intends to co-operate fully with any investigation the Chinese authorities may wish to undertake and has sought clarification on what has occurred."
“此举的原因目前还不清楚。力拓有意全面配合有关方面准备采取的任何调查活动，并寻求澄清整个事件。”
A Shanghai Public Security Bureau spokeswoman could not give any details or even confirm the men had been detained.
上海公安局的女发言人没有透露任何细节，甚至没有证实这些人已被拘留。
"We are not on top of the situation at the moment. We will let you know if we have any information to release," the spokeswoman told AFP.
“我们现在不掌握这一情况。如果我们得到进一步的消息就会通知你。”该发言人告诉法新社记者说。
The debt-laden company frustrated Chinese officials last month when it snubbed a 19.5 billion US dollar cash injection from the state-owned Chinalco, opting for a rights issue and joint venture with BHP Billiton instead.
这家负债累累的公司上个月破坏了中国官方的计划，它拒绝了国有中铝公司一百九十五亿美元的现金注资，反而选择了必和必拓的增股，与其组成了合资企业。
Rio has also spearheaded negotiations with China over this year's benchmark price for iron ore contracts, which last week missed a key deadline.
力拓还率先与中国进行了今年铁矿石基准价格合同的谈判，上周双方错过了关键的最后期限。
China, the world's biggest iron ore consumer, was seeking a deeper cut than the 33 percent reduction negotiated with Japan and South Korea, while Rio has said its customers are welcome to buy at spot prices.
中国是世界上最大的铁矿石消费国，正寻求比与日本和韩国谈判达成的降价百分之三十三更优惠的条件，而力拓则表示，它的客户愿意用现货价格购买铁矿石。
