随着经济实力的不断提升，中国参与联合国中的影响力逐步提升。周五的一个新报告中指出，北京的目标可能与西方并不相同，但西方仍须加以警惕，要求中国成为一个负责任的世界领导者。
中国政府在联合国特别是安理会中不断施加着更大的影响，但是其多元化的外交政策意味着这是防御型的外交政策：除了继续保护类似伊朗、北朝鲜这样的流氓国家之外，还维护着自身狭隘的利益。
悉尼罗伊研究所全球问题主管迈克尔福利洛夫说：“中国不断向纽约派遣高水平的外交官并持续向联合国维和行动派遣有力的武装支持。”
他还说：“中国十分乐意在处理国际事务时担任领导角色，并且逐渐接近一个标准的世界大国。在安理会，中国的自信同时伴随着小心翼翼的保护自己。”
报告中还指出，2009年哥本哈根世界气候峰会已经发映出中国意图寻找自身利益与成为世界领导者的愿望之间的平衡。
中国排放的二氧化碳占据世界总量的24%，而中国反对达成一项共识，这个共识要求富裕国家以1990年各自的碳排放为标准，截止至2050年各国减少80%的碳排量，并努力使哥本哈根峰会成为碳排放法制化的重要进程。
一位中国受访者告诉福利洛夫：“在中国领导人眼中，国内问题仍然是具有压倒性优势的。中国政府在心理上还做好成为一个主动地国际参与者的准备。”
但是中国的外交政策一直处于变化之中，身在在支持流氓国家这样的举动上都有所表现。福利洛夫说：“尽管中国支持一些政权，但也了解它们的国际声誉。考虑到这些政权的脆弱性上，中国开始提出有条件的支持。”
上周朝鲜炮击韩国后，美国要求中国向朝鲜施压。但中国政府拒绝为摧毁了无数房屋杀死四个无辜居民或者是三月的南韩军舰事件的行为谴责朝鲜。
据报道，中国政府对朝鲜政府的不满直接导致了北京的公众讨论。报道中还说，讨论中仍有传统主义者倾向支持朝鲜，也有战略家质疑正是和朝鲜日益增长的经济联系为首尔提供了保证和支持。
福利洛夫说：“中国政府需要在其传统的俄经济、安全利益和它现在必须处理的紧急事务中寻求新的平衡，包括大国之间关系、核不扩散以及国际声望的塑造等问题。”
“另一方面，西方需要小心中国究竟要的是什么？美国和澳大利亚政府都期待中国成为一个更加负责任和积极地国家，但是他们并不希望中国变得更加独断霸权。而中国对于自己上升的观点，却不一定和西方的一样。”

SYDNEY (Reuters) – China's engagement with the United Nations is on the rise as its economic power grows, but the West should be cautious with calls for it to act as a responsible world leader, as Beijing's goals may not be the same as the West's, said a new report on Friday.
Beijing is wielding greater influence at the United Nations, especially in the Security Council, but its pluralist foreign policy means its remains defensive, continues to protect pariah states Iran and North Korea, and defines its interests narrowly.
"China is sending higher-caliber diplomats to New York and providing increasingly robust support to U.N. peacekeeping operations," said author Michael Fullilove, Director Global Issues at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney.
"China is increasingly willing to take the lead on issues and behave more like a normal great power," said Fullilove, but adds: "On the Security Council, China's new confidence sits along strains of caution and defensiveness."
The report said the world climate talks in Copenhagen in 2009 reflected China's desire to balance its self-interests with its aspirations as a world player.
China, which accounts for 24 percent of global CO2 emissions, opposed a commitment for rich nations to cut emissions by 80 percent by 2050 from 1990 levels and for Copenhagen to be a stage toward a legally binding treaty.
"The Chinese leadership remains overwhelmingly focused on domestic issues. One Chinese interviewee told the author: 'Beijing is not psychologically ready to be an active global player," wrote Fullilove.
But China's foreign policy is changing, even toward its historic support for pariah states.
"Concerned at the fragility of some of the regimes it supports and conscious of its international reputation, China has begun to condition its support in some cases," said Fullilove.
China is being pushed by Washington to bring North Korea to heel after last week's artillery attack on the South, but Beijing refuses to blame Pyongyang for the shelling which destroyed dozens of houses and killed four people, or for the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel in March.
Beijing's frustration with Pyongyang has resulted in a reported public debate in Beijing, with traditionalist favoring support and strategists arguing growing economic ties with South Korea warrants support for Seoul, said the report.
"Beijing needs to strike a new balance between its traditional economic and security concerns and the broader imperatives it must now satisfy, including stable great-power relations, non-proliferation and the development of international prestige," said Fullilove.
"On the other hand, the West needs to be careful what it wishes for. Washington and Canberra want Beijing to be more responsible and active, but they don't like it when Beijing is more assertive. China's version of stepping up is not necessarily the same as the West's." |
