【新唐人2013年04月17日訊】美國新任國務卿克里訪華，朝鮮問題是他同中共領導層磋商的中心議題。外媒認為，中朝之間越行越遠，金正恩的叫板似乎使美中兩國在朝鮮半島問題上的立場更為一致。美中之間的關係會因此而拉近嗎？我們來看看學者的分析。
美國國務卿克里13號、14號到中國訪問，中共國家主席習近平、總理李克強、國務委員楊潔篪分別會見了克里，外交部長王毅與克里舉行了會談。
李克強在會見克里時有所指的表示，維護地區和平穩定，相關各方都要負起責任、承擔後果。在半島和本地區挑事生事，會損害各方利益，也無異於搬起石頭砸自己的腳。
臨行前晚，克里接受了媒體的聯合採訪時承認，此次訪華朝鮮問題首當其衝。他表示，中美兩國正在致力於和平解決這一問題。
《紐約時報》16號文章指出，中朝關係疏遠已經公開化。
文章透露，去年11月，中央政治局委員李建國帶領一個小型代表團訪問朝鮮時，還帶去了中共新任領導人習近平的一封信，其中包含了一條簡單的訊息：不要發射彈道導彈。但12天後，金正恩執意發射了導彈。
近來中共官方媒體對朝鮮的批評也越來越重。在克里訪問前夕，中共《人民日報》旗下的《環球時報》發表了一篇頗為嚴苛的評論文章。
文章聲稱：如果平壤的行為嚴重損害了中國的利益，我們絕不姑息。而《人民網》也敦促朝鮮不要「誤判形勢」。
核安全資訊交流中心發起人何岸泉：「中共政府確實對朝鮮政府的所作所為不滿意，關鍵的不滿意是它沒有照顧到中共的一個面子。對兩個國家來說，不可能完全翻臉，那麼這次中國國內媒體確實是說了很多比較嚴重的話，但是嚴重的話再怎麼說，都不可能真正的對朝鮮政府起到放棄核武器的作用。」
德國柏林的《每日鏡報》和《法蘭克福匯報》15號文章都表示，金正恩的戰爭聲調反而讓中美表現出罕見的一致。
中國問題研究人士何岸泉認為，中美兩國對朝鮮都感到頭痛：美國的頭痛是因為朝鮮正在挑戰美國的「世界警察」的地位，對地區安全造成了威脅；而中共頭痛是因為朝鮮不聽話。這樣，中美在如何擺平朝鮮上有了一致目標。
何岸泉：「雖然朝鮮對中國不怎麼聽話，但是，對中國國家而言最大的問題是美國而不是朝鮮。所以它和美國在互相之間就朝鮮核武器問題交換意見，目的是為了減少朝鮮對中國自己的一個困擾。」
何岸泉指出，如果中共徹底疏遠朝鮮，這樣會加深朝鮮對亞洲的危害，朝鮮也會更加瘋狂，他們甚至會反擊中國。中共養虎為患，現在已經是騎虎難下。
時事評論員藍述認為，沒有北京的支持金正恩就會完蛋，所以金正恩在爭取朝鮮絕對權力時，可能會走到中共所容忍的範圍之外，但不會超過太多。
時事評論員藍述：「北京和華盛頓之間的矛盾，主要是自由世界和集權世界之間的矛盾，這種矛盾是不可能解決的。這個矛盾體現在許許多多的方面，北京對平壤的支持只是這個矛盾的一個方面。」
《法蘭克福匯報》也指出，「在中美之間存在著一系列衝突領域，除外交和戰略政治、貨幣和貿易爭議外，還有人權和新近的『網路戰爭』等問題。」

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.”
