美国驻华大使批评中国政府不合作
美国驻华大使尼古拉斯·伯恩斯告诉《华尔街日报》,过去几个月里,中国在与美国的关系上不断制造障碍。伯恩斯表示,这不仅仅是新的趋势,而是有了一种不同的做法。
伯恩斯指出,最近中国取消了一场由美国组织的音乐会,这也与以往不同。他认为,这不是一个自信政府的表现。
此外,中国政府对调查几名美国大学教授在中国被刺案的合作也不充分。伯恩斯说,他对过去两年半的情况感到困惑和担忧。
“我不满意我们得到的情报,以了解攻击者的动机。”
伯恩斯还提到,中国政府努力抹黑美国、歪曲美国社会、历史和政策的现象每天都在网络上发生,并且在线上的反美情绪很高。
原文摘要:
China has actively undermined relations with the United States by harassing and interrogating citizens who attend U.S.-organized events in China, U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns told the Wall Street Journal. Burns said China appeared willing to boost ties with the U.S. in November of last year following a meeting between President Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. That understanding has since broken down, however, according to Burns. “They say they’re in favor of reconnecting our two populations, but they’re taking dramatic steps to make it impossible,” Burns told the Journal in an interview. Burns said China’s government is actively working to decrease America’s standing in the country and disrupt U.S. diplomatic efforts there. HONG KONG LAWMAKERS UNANIMOUSLY PASS CONTROVERSIAL SECURITY LAW, GRANTING GOVERNMENT POWER TO CURB DISSENT Among China’s restrictive policies is a new effort to block Chinese students from attending U.S. universities, Burns said. Exchange programs have proven more and more difficult in recent months. “What they tell us and what they tell the world is they want people-to-people engagement, and yet this is not just episodic. This is routine. This is nearly every public event,” Burns explained. “This is a serious breach, and we hope that the PRC will reconsider,” he added, using an acronym for the People’s Republic of China. The Chinese government has grown more and more bold in its efforts to thwart U.S. diplomats as well. A stark example is its decision to cancel a U.S.-organized concert under questionable circumstances. The government said there would be no electricity at the venue the night of the event. Despite that, however, the venue had events scheduled both the night before and after the U.S. event.

It happens every day on all the networks available to the government here, and there’s a high degree of anti-Americanism online.”
