中國國防部長呼籲各國遏止倒退的歷史趨勢

北京，9月16日（路透社）——中國國防部長董軍週三呼籲各國避免挑釁行為，並遏止倒退歷史趨勢的復甦；這番談話可能被視為對日本的含蓄批評。BEIJING, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun urged nations on Wednesday to avoid provocative acts and curb the resurgence of regressive historical trends in remarks likely to be taken as veiled criticism of Japan.

董軍是在北京香山論壇就安全議題發表上述談話。此時，圍繞中國聲稱擁有主權的台灣，以及存在爭議的南海水道，區域緊張局勢正動盪不安；同時，外界對美國傳統上對亞洲所作安全承諾的疑慮也日益升高。Dong's comments at the Beijing Xiangshan Forum on security come at a time of roiling regional tension over China-claimed Taiwan and the disputed South China Sea waterway, as doubt grows over traditional U.S. security commitments to Asia.

董軍警告，世界已來到「脆弱時刻」，並呼籲以更新、更平等的方式處理國際緊張，但他幾乎沒有提出具體內容，也未直接批評對手。Warning that the world had arrived at a "fragile moment", Dong called for a fresher, more equal approach to resolving international tension, but offered few specifics or direct criticism of rivals.

他在開幕致詞中表示：「我們必須牢記歷史教訓，對霸權主義、軍國主義與歷史修正主義一切潛在表現保持高度警惕。」"We must bear in mind the lessons of history and remain highly vigilant against all latent manifestations of hegemony, militarism and historical revisionism," he said in an opening speech.

「我們絕不能視而不見或縱容這類行為。我們必須凝聚廣泛的正義力量，壓制歷史糟粕死灰復燃，防止其趁勢作亂、造成危害。」"We must not turn a blind eye or condone such behaviour. By rallying broad-based forces of justice, we must suppress the resurgence of historical dregs and prevent them from exploiting the situation to cause harm."

未直接批評美國或區域盟友NO DIRECT CRITICISM OF UNITED STATES OR REGIONAL ALLIES

正如一些分析人士所預測，董軍避開直接批評美國或日本等美國在區域內的盟友，且似乎緊扣中國長期以來的立場。As some analysts predicted, Dong steered clear of direct criticisms of the United States or its regional allies, such as Japan, and appeared to hew closely to long-held Chinese positions.

他補充說：「對於為了一己私利或小團體利益，企圖挾持地區國家整體利益的挑釁行為，我們絕不能姑息，必須共同予以遏制。」"We must show no leniency towards provocative acts that seek to hijack the overall interests of countries in the region for the sake of personal gain or the interests of particular cliques, and we must work together to rein them in," he added.

這番談話發表之際，距離中國國家主席習近平預計訪問美國並與美國總統川普舉行峰會還有一週。The comments come a week before Chinese President Xi Jin ping is expected to visit the United States for a summit with President Donald Trump.

日本首相高市早苗去年暗示，若中國假設性攻擊台灣，可能引發日本軍事回應；此後，中日關係急轉直下。Ties between China and Japan plummeted last year after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested a hypothetical Chinese attack on Taiwan could trigger a Japanese military response.

這促使北京一再警告，日本正尋求回到其侵略性的過去。That spurred Beijing to repeatedly warn that Japan was seeking a return to its aggressive past.

中國將民主治理的台灣視為自身領土，並已加大對台灣周邊的軍事壓力，包括定期舉行軍事演習。台灣政府拒絕接受北京的主權主張。China views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and has ramped up military pressure around the island, including periodically staging war games. Taiwan's government rejects Beijing's claims of sovereignty.

來自數十個國家的約2,000名軍官、外交官與學者出席這場為期3天、預定舉行至週四的活動。Some 2,000 military officers, diplomats and academics from dozens of countries are attending the three-day event set to run until Thursday.

這場論壇常被視為新加坡香格里拉對話的競爭平台。相較之下，香格里拉對話普遍被認為更不拘形式；而北京香山論壇則高度照本宣科，並在中國擴大軍事外交之際登場。A tightly scripted rival to the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, which is widely seen as a more freewheeling affair, the forum comes at a time of China's expansion of military diplomacy.

這類軍事外交通常採取雙邊演習形式；軍事武官表示，這些演習的複雜程度正逐步提高。This often takes the form of bilateral exercises that military attaches say are slowly growing in complexity.
