瑞士外長：中國背離開放道路，西方將更果斷回應

[恆智德]

（法新社日內瓦2日電） 瑞士外交部長凱西斯今天向媒體表示，中國正背離開放之路，還說中國若依然故我，西方國家將更加果斷地做出回應。

凱西斯（Ignazio Cassis）向週報「星期展望」（SonntagsBlick）表示，中國政治自由化與經濟自由化未成正比，且中國侵犯人權的情事日趨嚴重。

凱西斯說：「我們看見中國正背離開放之路。」

「這表示瑞士也必須更加堅定地捍衛自身利益與價值，例如藉由強化國際法及多邊體系達成。」

凱西斯表示，在與中國建立外交關係的70年來，瑞士已與中國發展「具建設性但不乏批判性」的關係。

他說：「法治和人權始終是我們對話的一部分。」

他還說：「現在我們明白，事情比我們想得還要混亂。人權侵害情形持續增加。我們要保護這些權益。」

北京當局施行具爭議性的新國安法，從根本上加強對香港的掌控。

1997年英國將香港主權移交中國前，雙方同意「一國兩制」的中英聯合聲明協議中，應保障香港高度自治與自由。

凱西斯表示，就香港而言，中國若摒棄「一國兩制」原則，也會影響許多在香港投資的瑞士企業。

他說：「若中國堅持新路線，西方世界將更果斷地回應。」（譯者：李佩珊/核稿：盧映孜）

The West will respond more decisively to China if it continues to move away from the path of openness, according to Switzerland’s foreign minister.

Ignazio Cassis said economic liberalisation had not been matched with political liberalisation and human rights breaches were on the rise, according to Sunday newspaper SonntagsBlick.

“We are seeing China stray from the path of openness,” he said. “This means that Switzerland, too, must defend its interests and values more robustly, for example by strengthening international law and the multilateral system.”

In 70 years of relations with China, Switzerland had established a “constructive but critical” relationship with Beijing. “The rule of law and human rights have always been part of our dialogue,” he said.

“Now we realise that the story is more turbulent than we thought. Human rights violations are on the increase. We want to protect these rights.”

Cassis said many Swiss companies which had invested in Hong Kong would be affected if China abandoned the city’s one country, two systems arrangement.

Beijing recently introduced a controversial national security law which radically increases its control over Hong Kong, which was guaranteed certain freedoms and autonomy under the formula in the deal agreed ahead of its 1997 handover from Britain.

“If China abandons the one country, two systems principle in the case of Hong Kong, it also affects many Swiss companies that have invested there,” Cassis said. “If China sticks to its new course, the Western world will react more decisively.”

瑞士外長公開抨擊中國，算係隨大流嘅一般外交辭令定係表達强硬立場？

之前瑞士關於新疆人權問題同港版國安法都有出聲，比如

• 舊年7月同22個國家聯署就新疆人權狀況表達關注，
• 11月呼籲關閉新疆集中營，
• 12月王毅訪問時提及香港、西藏、新疆人權狀況，
• 今年同27個國家聯署反對港版國安法

黃世澤認爲瑞士態度強硬係因爲中國撕毀一國兩制，而尊重國際協議係瑞士立國之本
