中國(guó)記者持美官方地圖質(zhì)問:這里標(biāo)注的是太平島 可不是太平“礁”
7月13日,在美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院記者會(huì)上發(fā)生的一幕,或許讓菲律賓南海仲裁案的幕后推手——美國(guó)政府感到尷尬。
在當(dāng)天的記者會(huì)上,一位中國(guó)記者手持美國(guó)版地圖向美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院副發(fā)言人唐納發(fā)問說,“這份地圖的來源是美國(guó)政府,上面把太平島的屬性定義為‘島嶼’,而不是‘礁石’,這與南海仲裁案的‘裁決’結(jié)果不同。我想要知道這個(gè)地圖是否代表美國(guó)政府立場(chǎng)?”
面對(duì)這一情境,唐納在回答中用“恩……呃……”還有“笑聲”加以掩飾
那么,在記者會(huì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng),美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院副發(fā)言人唐納到底是如何寫出一個(gè)大大的“囧”字,請(qǐng)看當(dāng)天的記者會(huì)問答實(shí)錄:
QUESTION: Just real quickly. National University of Singapore, they released this map on their website, and together with gazetteer. So one map here, it says the source is from United States Government. And it says here on those land features – Taiping Island, controlled by Taiwan – the feature of – this island is island instead of rock as --
中國(guó)記者:新加坡國(guó)立大學(xué)國(guó)際法中心在網(wǎng)站上刊登了地圖和地名辭典。其中一份地圖,它的來源是美國(guó)政府。而且,這張地圖寫的是太平島,而不是太平“礁”。
MR TONER: Sure.
發(fā)言人:恩。
QUESTION: -- not – different from what the ruling says. I wonder if this represent the United States Government view.
中國(guó)記者:這跟南海仲裁案“裁決”結(jié)果不相符。(美國(guó)政府在這張地圖上把太平島定性為島嶼,而不是礁石。)我想要知道這個(gè)地圖是否代表美國(guó)政府立場(chǎng)?
MR TONER: Can I – what map is it? I’m sorry.
發(fā)言人:我能……不好意思,那是啥地圖?
QUESTION: So this map released on the website of National University of Singapore but it says the source is from the United States Government.
發(fā)言人:這是新加坡國(guó)立大學(xué)網(wǎng)站的一張地圖,(但人家說得很清楚,)這張地圖來源是美國(guó)政府。
MR TONER: Hold it up, please. I’m going to hold you to it.
發(fā)言人:請(qǐng)把地圖舉起來讓我看一下。(笑了……)
QUESTION: The source – source is from the United States Government. I assume it’s from the State Department and --
中國(guó)記者:這個(gè)來源是美國(guó)政府。我想,應(yīng)當(dāng)是來自美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院。
MR TONER: Yeah, you’re – but you’re referring to Taiping? Is that the --
發(fā)言人:恩。你……你提到了太平……這是?
QUESTION: Yes.
中國(guó)記者:是。
MR TONER: Okay. Look, the decision was quite clear in its description of what is an island and what is a rock, so I would just refer you to its legal definition.
發(fā)言人:恩……是這樣……“裁決”已經(jīng)非常清楚地表述了什么是島,呃……,什么是礁。我只能建議你,呃……去看它的法律定義。
QUESTION: It can’t be both?
中國(guó)記者:不能“二者皆是”?
MR TONER: I can – (laughter). Arguably – excuse me. But --
發(fā)言人:我……噗……可論證地……(笑了……)
QUESTION: Does it really – does it quote the song? I am a rock and I am an island?
他國(guó)記者:這跟一首歌應(yīng)不應(yīng)景——我是一個(gè)“礁石,我是一個(gè)“島嶼”?
MR TONER: Great song, by the way, but unrelated to this discussion. (Laughter.) But – and I can give you that, but I don’t need to read it to you. But look, it – basically there are – there’s a very clear definition within the finding, or the court ruling, that delineates what is an island, legitimate island, and what is a rock.
發(fā)言人:(笑了……)是首好歌……但跑題了……(繼續(xù)笑……)是這樣……島嶼跟礁石的有著很清楚的定義……我能把這定義給你,但我不能在這讀給你聽哈……(說這句話的時(shí)候伴著間歇的笑……)
QUESTION: Yeah, but the question is: Does the U.S. Government – do you have your official definition of the land features in South China Sea? Because what if the ruling, it’s contradict to what you find if it’s island or rock?
中國(guó)記者:是。但我的問題是,美國(guó)有沒有對(duì)南海島礁屬性的官方定義?萬一你們的定義可能與裁決結(jié)果相矛盾呢?
MR TONER: We’re not at this point in time going to challenge the definition that they’ve put in there legally at this point.
發(fā)言人:目前我們……呃……呃……不會(huì)……呃……去挑戰(zhàn)裁決作出的合法定義。
雖然南海臨時(shí)仲裁庭“裁決”將太平島定義為礁,但公開資料顯示,美國(guó)政府發(fā)布的南海地圖中明確將太平島定義為“島嶼”。
華盛頓智庫戰(zhàn)略與國(guó)際問題研究中心等多家研究機(jī)構(gòu)刊登分析文章指出,太平島確實(shí)是島,并非礁石。2010年1月美國(guó)政府發(fā)布了南海地圖與地理描述,明確把太平島以及附屬島嶼標(biāo)記為島,并注明了島嶼的經(jīng)緯度。可面對(duì)常設(shè)仲裁法院7月12號(hào)違背常理的裁決,美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院發(fā)言人卻并不愿意反駁。
