【大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网3月18日报导】(中央社记者林文集华盛顿十七日专电)美国中央情报局长高斯今天在国会作证时指出,中国军事扩张正对美国造成新问题,中国增强的军力可能对区域美军构成威胁,中国最近制定反分裂法即说明了这一点。
美国参议院军事委员会今天就美国国家安全面临的威胁举行听证会。高斯作证时指出,在中国方面,北京的军事现代化和军事扩张正对美国构成新的问题,他知道参院军事委员会已注意到这一点。
高斯表示,中国军事力量增强看起来可能会威胁到亚太区域的美军,中国最近制定的反分裂法,即说明其意图。
中国十四日通过的反分裂法列举出对台湾动武的条件,已引发美国国会关切,美国行政部门也表明反对以武力决定台湾前途。
参议院军事委员会主席华纳今天也表示,要注意中国的威胁。他说,美国不能无视于包括中国正加速军事扩张在内的威胁。他提到的威胁美国安全的问题还包括恐怖主义、朝鲜半岛、伊朗、大规模毁灭性武器扩散、中东等情势。940317
(reference for foreign language desk)HEARING OF THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE SUBJECT: THREATS TO U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY CHAIRED BY: SENATOR JOHN WARNER (R-VA) WITNESSES: PORTER GOSS, DIRECTOR, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY; AND VICE ADMIRAL LOWELL JACOBY, DIRECTOR, DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
Porter Goss: In China, Beijing’s military modernization and military buildup, which I know have not gone unnoticed by this committee, are posing new questions for us. Improved Chinese capabilities seemingly threaten U.S. forces in the region. China’s recent legislation on anti- secession speaks for itself.
SENATOR JOHN WARNER We must not lose sight of the other threats, as I say, around the world. It’s a complex one and an ever-changing one. Indeed, the Korean peninsula, Iran, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and weapon technologies, accelerating military buildup underway in China — these are trends which bear on our current security situation and future.
