中新网10月14日电 美国总统特朗普当地时间14日表示,即将在格陵兰岛开展大规模石油、天然气和矿产资源勘探。

特朗普在社交媒体发文称,有专家认为,格陵兰岛易于开采的石油储量“远超世界上几乎任何地方”。他还强调,格陵兰岛在美国和欧洲的防务安全方面具有无可比拟的重要性,并称其能够为美国提供“时间、位置和视野优势”。

特朗普的新动作意味着什么?

格陵兰岛位于北美洲东北部,是世界第一大岛。该岛是丹麦自治领地,有高度自治权,国防和外交事务由丹麦政府掌管。

外媒指出,格陵兰岛的地理位置对北极防务、航运及自然资源开发具有重要战略意义。该岛蕴藏着多种矿产资源,部分矿产可用于电子产品、可再生能源技术、电动汽车和军事装备等领域。

自首个任期以来,特朗普就曾以格陵兰岛的战略位置为由,提出美国应加强对该岛的控制,甚至一度提议从丹麦购买该岛或动用军事力量。

值得注意的是,近期,美国、丹麦和格陵兰岛之间的关系出现新变化。

特朗普此番言论发布之前,美国、丹麦和格陵兰于9月达成了一项协议,缓解了因特朗普一再要求美国控制该岛而引发的紧张局势。

9月22日,美国、丹麦及其自治领地格陵兰岛在纽约联合国总部签署协议。根据该协议,美国将进一步扩大其在格陵兰岛的军事存在。协议所涉相关安排引发格陵兰岛居民担忧,丹麦有媒体称,须警惕美方今后对协议的执行和解读。

有分析认为,特朗普此次新的表态进一步凸显了格陵兰岛作为能源和关键矿产来源地的潜力,也再次强调了该岛对美国的战略价值。

分析进一步称,美国希望降低关键矿产供应链的脆弱性,减少对现有供应来源的依赖。而只要相关项目能够吸引投资并满足当地的法律和环境要求,格陵兰岛的矿藏最终有望助力实现这一目标。

在格陵兰岛勘探资源可行吗?

有外媒指出,格陵兰岛拥有矿产资源并不意味着它们必然具有商业开发价值。北极地区的资源项目往往面临恶劣天气、基础设施不足、运输成本高、环境保护要求严格以及审批程序复杂等多重挑战。

此外,资源项目从勘探到商业投产通常需要数年时间。即使资源储量可观,如果开采、加工和运输成本过高,相关项目仍可能缺乏经济可行性。

美国哥伦比亚广播公司援引行业专家观点称,格陵兰岛的矿产资源目前仍处于初步勘探阶段,迄今为止,相关资源的开采成本对私营企业而言尚不具备经济可行性。

因此,特朗普宣布启动“大规模”资源勘探,并不意味着相关项目已具备大规模开发条件。

外媒指出,后续值得关注的有特朗普政府是否会公布具体勘探地点、参与企业、投资者及资金安排;相关石油项目能否获得钻探许可;与此同时,格陵兰岛政府及当地社区如何回应可能影响土地、野生动物、居民生计和未来经济自主性的开发项目,也将影响相关计划的推进。美国能否在尊重格陵兰岛自治权的前提下,依托新的安全合作框架推动进一步商业合作,同样值得关注。

Taiwanese traveling to China were investigated again! Male nurse was interviewed while traveling in Tibet. National Security Bureau asked, "Will he serve the military?"

A Taiwanese nurse surnamed Lin was recently interviewed by Chinese national security officers for an hour while participating in a Tibetan tour group. She was repeatedly questioned about her political stance, party affiliation, military experience and views on unification. The Mainland Affairs Council has previously announced a similar case in which a nurse from a hospital affiliated to the Ministry of Health and Welfare went to Tibet and was interrogated.
