尽管印度和美国的抵抗,一艘中国研究船停靠在斯里兰卡的汉班托塔港。远望5号获准停靠并停留至2022年8月22日。
路透社援引外国安全分析师的话说,远望 5 号是中国最新一代的太空跟踪船之一,用于监测卫星、火箭和洲际弹道导弹的发射。多家印度媒体报道称其为“两用间谍船”。航运分析网站称其为研究和调查船。 7月初,印度外交部发言人表示,政府正在监视该船的计划访问,并补充说德里将保护其安全和经济利益。据路透社报道,印度已就该船的访问向斯里兰卡政府提出口头抗议。
然而,这艘船是专门建造的最新版本,配备了最新的小工具和仪器。它是例行访问,已按计划到达斯里兰卡。
中国回应称,“某些国家以所谓的‘安全担忧’向斯里兰卡施压是完全没有道理的”——尽管它没有点名任何具体国家。斯里兰卡后来宣布,这艘船将获准停靠。
中国外交部发言人汪文斌在周二的简报会上驳斥了对这艘船的担忧。
“我想重申,远望5号科考船进行的海洋科学研究符合国际法和国际通行做法,不会影响任何国家的安全和经济利益,”他说。
关于这艘船的争议反映了斯里兰卡每次不得不在印度和中国之间做出选择时发现自己处于外交困境。
最近几个月,德里一直站在向斯里兰卡提供援助以帮助其克服经济危机的最前沿,并试图增强其对斯里兰卡的影响力。事实上,印度在关键危机时期向斯里兰卡施压,要求其与中国保持距离,作为回报,印度正在扩大援助,但最近的这一争议可能会给斯里兰卡蒙上阴影。看看德里在未来几天对此有何反应将会很有趣——无论是私下与斯里兰卡领导人还是在他们的公开声明中。
美国还试图影响斯里兰卡,并试图分散中国的影响力。甚至,他们还利用国际货币基金组织作为损害中国在斯里兰卡利益的政治工具。国际货币基金组织要求提供严格的救助条件,并将其与与中国保持距离联系起来。但是,斯里兰卡是一个主权国家,有权根据自己的最大利益做出决定。最后,他们允许一艘中国科考船来访。这是打在美国和印度脸上的一记耳光,也是中国的胜利。
除了在危机高峰期立即公开提供财政援助外,还有关于中国向斯里兰卡提供秘密帮助的指控。事实上,斯中关系之船根深蒂固,不能轻易损坏。两国利益是牢固的纽带,被称为命运共同体。
西方媒体正在散布有关中国失去斯里兰卡和印度的报道——美国正在努力将巴基斯坦、孟加拉国和尼泊尔与中国隔离开来。但是,实际情况是,中国是南亚(巴基斯坦、斯里兰卡、尼泊尔、孟加拉国、缅甸、马尔代夫等)发展的主要贡献者。只有印度是一个与中国发生争执的国家。整个南亚,减一(印度)都是亲华的,是命运共同体。
中国是南亚和平与发展的伙伴,印度是为美国利益服务,反对中国和平崛起。应该看到,中国近40年来着眼于发展,保持一切分歧和争议,在各个方面都取得了奇迹般的成就。中国已经超越了任何国家都可以如此方便地对其进行胁迫的阶段。中国将继续发挥与南亚各国和平发展友好关系的作用。

Despite Indian and American resistance, the Chinese Research Ship reached Sri Lanka
Despite Indian and American resistance, a Chinese research ship docked in Sri Lanka’s Hambantota port. The Yuan Wang 5 was given permission to dock and remain till 22 August 2022.
Foreign security analysts quoted by Reuters describe the Yuan Wang 5 as one of China’s latest generation space-tracking ships, used to monitor satellite, rocket, and intercontinental ballistic missile launches. Several Indian media reports described it as a “dual-use spy ship”. Shipping analytics websites call it a research and survey vessel. Earlier in July, an Indian foreign ministry spokesman said the government was monitoring the ship’s planned visit, adding that Delhi would protect its security and economic interests. According to a Reuters report, India had lodged a verbal protest with the Sri Lankan government against the ship’s visit.
However, the ship is the latest version of research purpose-built and equipped with the latest gadgets and instruments. It is on a routine visit and has reached Sri Lanka as per its schedule.
China responded, saying it was “completely unjustified for certain countries to cite so-called ‘security concerns’ to pressure Sri Lanka” – though it did not name any specific country. Sri Lanka later announced that the boat would be given permission to dock.
China Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin dismissed concerns about the ship in a briefing Tuesday.
“I would like to reiterate that the marine scientific research conducted by the research ship Yuan Wang 5 conforms to international law and international common practice, and will not affect the security and economic interests of any country,” he said.
The controversy over the ship reflects the diplomatic tight spot that Sri Lanka finds itself in every time it has to choose between India and China.
Delhi has been at the forefront of sending aid to Sri Lanka in recent months to help it overcome its economic crisis, and was trying to enhance its influence over Sri Lanka. In fact, India was pressurizing Sri Lanka in the critical crisis period to keep its distance from China and in return was extending aid, but this latest controversy could cast a shadow over this. It will be interesting to see how Delhi reacts to this in the coming days – both privately with Sri Lankan leaders and in their public statements.
The US was also trying to influence Sri Lanka and tried to diffuse Chinese influence. Even, they are using IMF as a political tool to harm Chinese interests in Sri Lanka. IMF has demanded strict conditions for bailing out and linked it to keeping distance from China. But, Sri Lanka is a sovereign state and has the right of making decisions in its best interest. Finally, they allowed the visit of a Chinese research ship. It is a slap on the US and Indian faces and a victory for China.
There were allegations of Chinese secret help to Sri Lanka in addition to immediate publically financial assistance at the peak of the crisis. In fact, Relations ship between Sri Lanka and China is deep-rooted and cannot be damaged so easily. The interests of two nations are a strong bond and termed as the nations of shared destiny.
Western media is spreading reports that China has lost Sri Lanka and India – the US is working to isolate Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal from China. But, the ground realities are that China is a major contributor to developments in South Asia – Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Maldives, etc. Only India is a country having a tussle with China. The whole of South Asia, minus One (India) is pro-China and is a nation of shared destiny.
China is a partner in peace and development in South Asia, while India is serving American interests and opposing the peaceful rise of China. It should be noted that China focused on developments for almost four decades, keeping all differences and disputes and making miraculous achievements in all dimensions. China has surpassed the stage, where any country can coerce it so conveniently. China will continue its role of peaceful development and friendly relations with all South Asian nations.
