当地时间17日下午,习近平此行转入APEC时间。在泰国曼谷,“中国式现代化”成为他当天应邀在APEC工商领导人峰会上发表书面演讲中的重要关键词。
中共二十大对当前和今后一个时期中国发展作出总体规划和部署,强调要全面推进中国式现代化。在这份书面演讲中,习近平深入阐释了中国式现代化的基本特征和本质要求。可以说,中国最高领导人向世界递出一份详细描述中国式现代化的“国际版说明书”。
英国广播公司(BBC)曾将中国式现代化称为全新的“政治语码”,认为其是解码中国未来发展的关键。在二十大报告中,中国式现代化特征鲜明:人口规模巨大、全体人民共同富裕、物质文明和精神文明相协调、人与自然和谐共生、走和平发展道路。
中国式现代化的这些特征对世界意味着什么?从习近平向世界宣介的这一份说明书里,人们可以读出明确答案——中国新发展,世界新机遇。
例如,中国式现代化是人口规模巨大的现代化,当中国的中等收入群体在未来15年超过8亿,超大规模的市场不难预见将持续成为全球投资的热土。
又如,中国式现代化是物质文明和精神文明相协调的现代化,既“仓廪实”又“知礼节”,决定着中国的发展追求和文明观将为世界文明发展提供助力。
再如,中国式现代化是人与自然和谐共生的现代化,正在绿色转型的中国持续实施减碳节能,这既是对自己负责,也是对世界负责。
更重要的是,中国式现代化追求的是发展过程和结果的和平。亚太地区曾饱受冲突战乱之苦,和平是地区国家共同的追求。“中国人民最希望看到的是和平稳定。”在书面讲话中,习近平阐明中国的战略抉择,表明实现中国式现代化靠的绝不是传统战争、殖民、掠夺的老路。
亚太是中国安身立命之所,也是中外交流互动的最前沿。在观察家看来,习近平选择在APEC时间向世界传递中国式现代化的“国际版说明书”也具特殊考量。
一方面,这是中国对自身亚太角色的再次标定。
如今,中国经济同亚太经济相互依存、深度融合,中国已经成为许多亚太经济体的主要贸易伙伴和地区产业链供应链重要节点,中国的发展受益于亚太。
作为亚太之中国、世界之中国,中国式现代化将与亚太经济体产生更广泛的互动,也将以自身发展回馈亚太、造福亚太。面向地区国家,中国式现代化在这一场合被全面解码,是意在寻求与区域发展的同频共振。
另一方面,这也是对中国式现代化追求立己达人、与世界同行的再次宣示。
二十大报告指出,中国式现代化要“推动构建人类命运共同体,创造人类文明新形态”,这既强调现代化的中国特色,也传递出“胸怀天下”的价值取向。但国际舆论场总有声音将中国式现代化误读为对外输出自身模式,中国这一份“国际版说明书”也意在廓清杂音。
无论是持续扩大市场,还是重视平衡发展,抑或是推动能源转型,都是惠及中国和世界的多赢之举。将搞好本国发展和贡献世界发展紧密结合,折射出的是中外互动中的同行和共赢。
这一立己达人的追求,在18日的APEC领导人非正式会议上有进一步清晰的表达。习近平在会上强调,中国将坚持走中国式现代化道路,建设更高水平开放型经济新体制,继续同世界特别是亚太分享中国发展的机遇。
从北京到印尼巴厘岛,再到泰国曼谷,此行是中共二十大后中国最高领导人的首次外访,是中国面向世界的又一次自我陈述。在APEC的国际舞台,作为中国故事的第一讲述人,习近平向世界递出的这份描述中国式现代化的“国际版说明书”,表达的正是中国发展与世界发展合作共赢的叙事。(完)
中新网评:处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称,将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对,企图将核污水“一倒了之”,把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
2011年,福岛核电站事故发生后,大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋,对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害,数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日,作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由,在2021年4月13日,正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多,日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称,这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全,甚至“可以喝”,这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上,经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质,核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收,长期来看,将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁,最终危害人类健康。
因此,核污水排海计划推出后,遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示,福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中,约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场,反对该计划。
日本政府认为,核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案,但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海,核污水会随着洋流流动,其影响势必会跨越国界,危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称,相关研究认为,福岛核污水如果排放入海,约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域,该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告,若日本将所有核污水排入海中,不到半年,整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁,包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国,有义务保护海洋环境。然而,在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上,日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估,但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论,并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下,日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设,这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道,日本必须正视各方合理关切,在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后,制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远,若只顾眼前,执意将核污水排放入海,不仅其自身,周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单,其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
