新鸭绿江大桥于2014年基本完工,但因朝鲜方面配套工程迟迟未动工而延宕至今。该桥旨在缓解承担中朝七成以上贸易的老桥压力。
周四(10月15日),一座连接中国和朝鲜的新大桥在延宕十多年后正式开通,标志着两国关系进一步加深。
据中国官媒新华社报道,新鸭绿江大桥通车仪式当天举行。官媒中国新闻社发布的网络视频显示,大桥上停着等候通行的卡车,桥上装饰着中朝两国国旗。
这座双向四车道大桥全长3公里,连接中国东北城市丹东和朝鲜城市新义州。北京预期,大桥将进一步促进双方的经济、贸易和"人文"交流。
据新华社报道,中国国务院总理李强在仪式上发表视频致辞说:"中朝关系正在进入新阶段,开启新篇章。"
新华社称,李强表示大桥将成为象征两国传统友谊的新地标。他希望双方以大桥开通为契机,继续加强互联互通,挖掘边境地区的合作潜力。
朝鲜内阁总理朴泰成也发表了视频致辞。
观察人士表示,新桥可能会提振双边贸易,提高物流效率。它预计将减轻丹东—新义州线路上一座老旧大桥的负担。这座老桥承担着两国70%以上的官方贸易。这座已有数十年历史的大桥既通火车,也通汽车和卡车,但车辆一次只能单向通行。
"新桥可能会为违反联合国制裁的贸易提供便利,但与跨境走私相比,桥上的通行可能更加透明,也更易于接受海关监管,"首尔梨花女子大学教授伊斯利(Leif-Eric Easley)对美联社记者说。
这座大桥原本预计于2014年投入使用。当时,中方显然已完成本国一侧的建设,但朝鲜方面并未开展相应的配套工程。
新义州一侧迟迟没有实质性施工,引发外界种种猜测:平壤可能担心在经济上更加依赖中国,或者不满北京投票支持因朝核计划而加强国际制裁的联合国决议。一些观察人士还认为,朝中双方在大桥选址上也存在分歧。
大桥受阻一事,曾促使中共党报旗下的《环球时报》罕见地发表措辞尖锐的报道。报道援引丹东居民的话,表达了他们对工程延误的不满——他们原本希望大桥能为这座边境城市带来经济红利。
新鸭绿江大桥通车前约一个月,朝鲜和俄罗斯刚刚开通了一座公路桥,作为双方巩固关系努力的一部分。
专家表示,中国官员对那座大桥的开通可能感到不安。
长期以来,中国一直是朝鲜最大的贸易伙伴和经济命脉。但近年来,朝鲜领导人金正恩与莫斯科的关系格外热络,向俄罗斯派出大量士兵和常规武器,支持普京对乌克兰的战争,以换取军事和经济援助。
近来,金正恩又与中国走近,意在改善本国经济,并构筑对抗美国的阵线。中国方面,则希望恢复其对朝鲜的独特影响力。
2025年,朝鲜约98%的对外贸易是与中国进行的。韩国政府去年表示,在长达1400多公里、管控松散的朝中边境上,至少有17条正在使用的公路和铁路通道。
"在经济上,中国对朝鲜依然不可或缺,这是俄罗斯无法替代的。如果未来桥上的往来明显中断,这座大桥或许无意中会成为观察双边关系的一扇窗口,"伊斯利对美联社说。
