英国对华政策新思维

UK's New Thinking on China Policy

中英关系近来的发展突破了西方各国传统对华政策的困囿,呈现出一些新的特点,尤其体现在英国对西方传统的对华经济外交和价值观外交"阴阳两张皮"的超越,不但在经济上加强对华合作,而且在政治上大胆与中国靠近。英国对华政策突破性变化既有其对中国的经济需要,更体现了深刻的战略格局和外交思维变化。英国在对亚太和新兴国家外交战略大转型背景下,反思了对华意识形态大棒政策的有效性,重新调和了对华外交的经济诉求和价值观诉求,逐步形成自成体系的新战略逻辑。英国的对华政策可能对其他西方国家产生影响,甚至起到某种风向标的作用。

The recent development of China-UK relations has apparently broken through the predicament of the West's traditional China policy, and taken on new features, especially a transcendence of the duality of economic and value-oriented diplomacy. The UK not only strengthens its economic ties with China, but also engages with China on the political field. This ground-breaking change of UK's China policy results from both a need of China's economic dividends and a transformation of strategic and diplomatic thinking. Reflecting on the effectiveness of 'ideology stick' against China, the UK reconciliates its economic and value-oriented interests in its China policy, and gradually shapes a self-contained framework. UK's new China policy may have implications on, and even set an example for, other Western countries.
