【新唐人2013年04月17日讯】美国新任国务卿克里访华，朝鲜问题是他同中共领导层磋商的中心议题。外媒认为，中朝之间越行越远，金正恩的叫板似乎使美中两国在朝鲜半岛问题上的立场更为一致。美中之间的关系会因此而拉近吗？我们来看看学者的分析。
美国国务卿克里13号、14号到中国访问，中共国家主席习近平、总理李克强、国务委员杨洁篪分别会见了克里，外交部长王毅与克里举行了会谈。
李克强在会见克里时有所指的表示，维护地区和平稳定，相关各方都要负起责任、承担后果。在半岛和本地区挑事生事，会损害各方利益，也无异于搬起石头砸自己的脚。
临行前晚，克里接受了媒体的联合采访时承认，此次访华朝鲜问题首当其冲。他表示，中美两国正在致力于和平解决这一问题。
《纽约时报》16号文章指出，中朝关系疏远已经公开化。
文章透露，去年11月，中央政治局委员李建国带领一个小型代表团访问朝鲜时，还带去了中共新任领导人习近平的一封信，其中包含了一条简单的讯息：不要发射弹道导弹。但12天后，金正恩执意发射了导弹。
近来中共官方媒体对朝鲜的批评也越来越重。在克里访问前夕，中共《人民日报》旗下的《环球时报》发表了一篇颇为严苛的评论文章。
文章声称：如果平壤的行为严重损害了中国的利益，我们绝不姑息。而《人民网》也敦促朝鲜不要“误判形势”。
核安全资讯交流中心发起人何岸泉：“中共政府确实对朝鲜政府的所作所为不满意，关键的不满意是它没有照顾到中共的一个面子。对两个国家来说，不可能完全翻脸，那么这次中国国内媒体确实是说了很多比较严重的话，但是严重的话再怎么说，都不可能真正的对朝鲜政府起到放弃核武器的作用。”
德国柏林的《每日镜报》和《法兰克福汇报》15号文章都表示，金正恩的战争声调反而让中美表现出罕见的一致。
中国问题研究人士何岸泉认为，中美两国对朝鲜都感到头痛：美国的头痛是因为朝鲜正在挑战美国的“世界警察”的地位，对地区安全造成了威胁；而中共头痛是因为朝鲜不听话。这样，中美在如何摆平朝鲜上有了一致目标。
何岸泉：“虽然朝鲜对中国不怎么听话，但是，对中国国家而言最大的问题是美国而不是朝鲜。所以它和美国在互相之间就朝鲜核武器问题交换意见，目的是为了减少朝鲜对中国自己的一个困扰。”
何岸泉指出，如果中共彻底疏远朝鲜，这样会加深朝鲜对亚洲的危害，朝鲜也会更加疯狂，他们甚至会反击中国。中共养虎为患，现在已经是骑虎难下。
时事评论员蓝述认为，没有北京的支持金正恩就会完蛋，所以金正恩在争取朝鲜绝对权力时，可能会走到中共所容忍的范围之外，但不会超过太多。
时事评论员蓝述：“北京和华盛顿之间的矛盾，主要是自由世界和集权世界之间的矛盾，这种矛盾是不可能解决的。这个矛盾体现在许许多多的方面，北京对平壤的支持只是这个矛盾的一个方面。”
《法兰克福汇报》也指出，“在中美之间存在着一系列冲突领域，除外交和战略政治、货币和贸易争议外，还有人权和新近的‘网路战争’等问题。”

Are the Sino-US Getting Closer Due To North Korea’s Threats?
Recently, the US Secretary of State,
John Kerry visited China.
North Korea’s missile crisis was his main
topic for the leaders.
Overseas media believe that the gap between China and
North Korea is getting deeper.
Kim Jong-un’s threats seem to be making Sino-US develop a
mutual understanding on the Korean Peninsula issue.
Will this make a Sino-US relationship get closer?
Let’s take a look at what the experts say.
John Kerry visited China from April 13-14. Xi Jinping,
Li Keqiang and Yang Jiechi met with Kerry.
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi also
had a meeting with Kerry.
Li Keqiang said in his meeting with Kerry that to safeguard
the regional peace and stability, the parties involved should take their responsibilities and bear the consequences.
Troublemaking on the Korean Peninsula and local region
would harm the interests of all the parties involved.
This would be like lifting a rock to
drop on one’s own feet.
In a press conference before Kerry departure last week,
he admitted that the North Korean issue is the top topic for his trip to China.
Kerry said that Sino-US is committed to peacefully
resolve this issue.
On April 13th, the New York Times reported that
China and North Korea are debating openly.
The article said that, in November 2012, a member of Politburo
Li Jianguo led a small delegation to visit N. Korea.
He carried a letter from the new leader Xi Jinping.
This is said to have contained a simple message: Do not
launch a ballistic missile.
However, 12 days later, Kim Jong-un did just that.
China’s state media use strong words to
criticize North Korea.
Global Times, under the state-run media umbrella of
People’s Daily, published a stern editorial piece just before Kerry’s visit.
The article claimed: “When Pyongyang’s acts seriously
violate China’s interests, we will by no means indulge it.”
The People’s Daily online edition urged North Korea not to
“misjudge the situation”.
He Anquan, founder of Nuclear Safety Information Exchange
Centre said:
“The Chinese regime is unsatisfied with the
actions of North Korea.
The key is North Korea doesn’t give the
Chinese regime a face.
However, the two countries can’t fall out completely.
Recently, media in Mainland China
really said a lot of serious words.
No matter how serious, China can’t practically play a role
to let North Korea give up nuclear weapons.”
On April 15th, Germany’s Der Tagesspiegel and
Frankurter Allgemeine newspaper reported that
Kim Jong-un’s threat pushed China and the US
to show their rare mutual understanding.
He Anquan, China Affairs researcher believes that Sino-US
both feels North Korea has given them a headache:
“The US’s headache is North Korea challenges “international
police”, which poses a threat to regional security;
China’s headache is North Korea doesn’t listen to them.
China and the US find a common problem on how to
deal with North Korea.”
He Anquan: “Although North Korea didn’t listen to China,
for China, the biggest problem is the US but not North Korea.
China exchanged its opinions with the US on nuclear
weapons issues to reduce troubles that North Korea brought in.”
He Anquan pointed out that if China completely alienates
North Korea, it will deepen the hazards that North Korea created in Asia.
North Korea will be further out of control, even to as far as
fighting back at China.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has indulged them,
now it is like riding on a tiger but hard to get off.
Lan Shu, Current Affairs Commentator believes that
without Beijing’s support, Kim Jong-un will collapse.
Kim Jong-un may reach beyond China’s endurance
limit, but he won’t go too far.
Lan Shu: “Beijing and Washington’s conflicts are mainly
democracy and the totalitarian’s conflict which is irresolvable.
Their conflicts manifested in many aspects,
Beijing supports Pyongyang being one of the conflicts.”
Frankurter Allgemeine newspaper said that “there is a series
of conflict areas between China and the US.
As well as disputes in diplomatic, strategic politics, currency
and trading, it also has issues of human rights and recent cyber war.”
