【新唐人2013年05月24日讯】在朝鲜半岛紧张局势随时升温的同时，22号，带有金正恩亲笔信的朝鲜人民军总政治局长崔龙海作为特使，突然访问中国，再加上访问时间是在中美、中韩首脑会谈之前，而令人瞩目。下面请看报导。
朝鲜劳动党第一书记金正恩，于22号突然派遣特使—-崔龙海，率代表团乘专机离开平壤抵达北京。访华期间，中、朝将就朝鲜半岛局势及共同关心的问题交换意见。
“三朝元老”的崔龙海，是朝鲜军部的二号人物，他在2010年被金正日授予大将军衔，金正恩掌权后不久被提拔为次帅，同时成为朝鲜劳动党中央政治局常委，中央军事委员会副委员长、以及，朝鲜人民军总政治局局长。
《美联社》指出，在近几个月以来，北京与平壤之间已经存在着一种紧张的关系，在中国银行关闭了朝鲜的外汇账户后，朝鲜海军又抓扣了多名中国渔民，尽管渔船已经获释，但船长却遭遇了朝方殴打。因此，朝鲜使团就是要在“六方会谈”举行前，修复中、朝关系。
美国《纽约时报》曾经报导，中共“十八大”之后，政治局委员李建国率团访问平壤，他还带去了中国新任领导人习近平的一封信，内容是：不要发射弹道导弹。但固执的金正恩不久就进行了第三次核爆。此后，中方对联合国制裁朝鲜决议投了赞成票。
最近，中国与朝鲜的所谓“敌国首脑”互动也比较多：新国家主席习近平将于6月7号访美与欧巴马会谈﹔而南韩总统朴槿惠将于6月底访华。
“台湾国立政治大学”外交系教授刘德海认为，朝鲜固执的第三次核试爆，使中、朝关系降温，中、美开始联手制裁朝鲜。
台湾国立政治大学教授 刘德海：“在这之前，中方也拒绝了朝鲜派特使去。现在中国方面已经也加强了在银行各方面的管制，也减少了对朝鲜的援助，冻结了对朝鲜的投资。这些等等显然是对朝鲜造成了一定经济上的压力。还有，南韩总统朴槿惠即将下个月访问中国，金正恩已经上台了一年多了，到目前为止都没有去过北京访问。”
刘德海表示，金正恩通过“威慑”的手段，没有达到单独与美国对话的目地，也没有得到想要的经济利益。所以，不得不派特使了解中方意图，或试图通过中方向美传话。
不过，美国《外交》杂志，5月17号发表了对中国驻美大使崔天凯的专访。崔天凯表示，“朝鲜是中国的近邻和朋友，也是独立的主权国家。如果说中国对朝鲜具有一定影响力，我认为这种影响力并不像媒体报导的那样。”
而北京时政观察人士华颇指出，这次朝鲜抓捕中国渔船事件，虽然引起民间的强烈反弹和对官方软弱的批评，但从政治上来说，更像是中、朝演出的“双簧”。
北京时政观察人士 华颇：“所以我想，前一阵子朝鲜军人，故意越界抓中国渔船和渔民，这是不是在和中方有意做一个呼应：这一看中国和朝鲜的关系并不像别人想像的那么好，朝鲜军人连我中国的渔民都敢抓、渔船都敢扣。”
华颇表示，朝鲜是中国的一个砝码，中国不可能抛弃朝鲜， 它们之间的关系不可能决裂。
虽然自4月以来，中国对朝鲜展开了各种“制裁措施”，但“清华大学”国际问题学者孙哲曾向海外媒体透露，中共外交人员已经在联合国进行了极大斡旋，尽可能的将“对朝鲜制裁的阵痛”降到了最低。中共驻联合国的官员曾形象的说，“我们把虎牙都拔掉了”。
目前朝鲜原油的90%、消费物资的80%都来自中国。有媒体指出，这说明“朝鲜与中国呈现紧张状态”的推论本身就不合时宜。
中共政治局常委刘云山会见特使崔龙海时表示，不断巩固和发展中、朝友好关系，是中共党和政府的一贯立场。

By Dispatching A Special Envoy To Visit China,
Has Kim Jong-un Admitted Defeat?
On May 22nd with tensions increasing on the Korean peninsula,
Korean People’s Army, General Political Secretary,
Choe Ryong Hae, visited China as a special envoy,
carrying a personal letter from Kim Jong-un.
The visit is just before the talks between China and the U.S.
and China and South Korea, which makes it important.
Please see the report:
Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) First Secretary, Kim Jong-un,
suddenly dispatched special envoy, Choe Ryong Hae on
May 22nd, to lead the delegation to Beijing by special plane.
During the visit, China and North Korea will exchange views
on the situation of the Korean peninsula and common concerns.
Choe Ryong Hae, is a veteran who served for three generations
in North Korea Regime, he is seen as a 2nd key asset in the Army.
He was awarded the position as KPA General in 2010
by Kim Jong-il.
After Kim Jong-un came to power,
he received important promotions to Vice Marshal.
Choe Ryong Hae is member of the Politburo Presidium
of the WPK Central Committee, vice-chairman of
the Central Military Commission, director of the
KPA General Political Bureau.
Associated Press pointed out that, in recent months,
Beijing and Pyongyang have a tense relationship after the
Bank of China closed North Korea’s foreign exchange account.
The Korean Navy snatched a number of Chinese fishermen.
The ship has since been released but the captain was beaten up.
The mission of the Korean delegation is to repair China and
North Korea’s relationship before the ‘six-party talks’.
The New York Times has reported that, after the 18th
Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP),
Politburo member Li Jianguo visited Pyongyang and
brought a letter from the new CCP leader Xi Jinping.
The content is: Do not launch nuclear missiles.
However, stubborn Kim Jong-un soon launched the
third nuclear explosion.
Afterwards, China voted to agree for the United Nations
sanctions against North Korea.
Recently, China and North Korean so-called ‘enemy leaders’
talks’ have become more interactive.
The new state leader Xi Jinping will visit the U.S. and
have talks with Obama.
The South Korean President Park Geun-hye will
visit China at the end of June.
Taiwan National Political University Diplomacy
department professor, Liou, To-Hai believes that
North Korea’s third nuclear test made the relationship
between the two countries worse;
China and the U.S. began joint sanctions against North Korea.
Liou, To-Hai: ‘Before this, China refused to accept
North Korea’s special envoy.
Now China has enhanced all aspects of banking regulation,
reduced aid, and frozen investments to North Korea.
These acts obviously put economic pressure on North Korea.
Besides, South Korean President Park Geun-hye will visit
China next month, while Kim Jong-un has been in power for
more than one year, and he hasn’t visited Beijing.’
Liou, To-Hai said that Kim Jong-un used ‘deterrence’ means,
but did not reach the goal of a dialogue with the U.S.,
He did not get the desired economic interests.
So they had to send a special envoy to know China’s intentions,
or use it to convey a message through China to the U.S.
However, U.S. Foreign Affairs published an interview with
the Chinese Ambassador in the U.S., Cui Tiankai.
Cui Tiankai said: ‘North Korea is China’s neighbor and friend,
and an independent country.
If it is said that China has certain influence on North Korea,
I believe this influence is not like the media says.’
Beijing Politics watcher Hua Po said that the incident of
North Korea arresting the Chinese fishing ship,
has caused a strong reaction from civilians and
criticism of the weakness of officials.
From the perspective of politics, it is more like a
‘double bluff’ between China and North Korea.
Hua Po: ‘I believe, a while ago when the North Korean
soldiers deliberately seized Chinese fishing boats and fishermen, wasn’t it an intentional echo with China?
You see that the relations between China and North Korea
are not as good as the others imagined.
The Korean soldiers dared to capture the Chinese fishermen
and their fishing boat.’
Hua Po said North Korea is one of China’s weights.
China cannot abandon North Korea, their relationship
is impossible to break.
Since April, China launched a variety of ‘sanctions’,
but Tsinghua University International scholar, Sun Ze,
disclosed to the oversea media, that CCP diplomats at
the United Nations were fighting a lot and trying hard to minimize the ‘pains of sanctions’.
The CCP officials in the United Nations said,
‘We even pulled out the teeth of the tiger.’
Around 90% of the crude oil and 80% of the consumer
goods going into North Korea are from China.
Media pointed out that this means ‘the relations between
China and North Korea are tense’ is an outdated view.
Politburo Standing Committee member Liu Yunshan said
that when he met the special envoy Choe Ryong Hae,
the consistent position of the CCP is to continuously consolidate
and develop China and North Korea’s friendly relationship.
