论美国对中拉关系发展的“忧虑”

U. S. Concerns over the Development of Sino-Latin American Relations

进入21世纪后,中国与拉美国家之间的关系步入了快速发展的时期,因而引起美国国内一些政治家、评论家和学者们的忧虑。他们担心中拉关系的迅速发展会在意识形态、石油资源和军事领域对美国在拉美地区的利益构成挑战,从而破坏美国在西半球一贯奉行的门罗主义传统。美国方面的忧虑主要限于某些右翼人士,并不反映美国对中拉关系发展的主流立场。在中美两国政府致力于加强在拉美事务合作的背景下,这些右翼人士的言论并不会对中美拉三边关系的正常发展产生实质性的影响。

The relations between China and Latin American countries have been experiencing rapid de- velopment since the 21st century, which caused anxieties of some American politicians, observers, and schol- ars, they worry that the rapid development of China-Latin America relations will pose a challenge to the Ameri- can interests in Latin America in the fields of ideological conflicts, energetic competition and military threats, thereby undermining America＇s Monroe Doctrine tradition in the western hemisphere. U. S. concerns is mainly limited to some right-wing forces, do not reflect the U. S. government＇s mainstream position concern- ing the development of China-Latin America relations. Both China and the United States will deepen their co- operation in Latin American affairs, unde^r which the sayings and doings of the American right-wings will not exert substantial impact on the development of the trilateral China - U. S. - Latin American relations.
