參議員韋克爾批評川普接待習近平禮遇過盛,促其談台灣議題與軍事威脅

Quick Look

美國參議院軍事委員會主席韋克爾罕見公開批評中國國家主席習近平是「殘暴獨裁者」,反對川普對其安排盛大國宴禮遇,並強烈敦促總統在美中峰會中提出台灣議題、質疑中國軍事擴張目的及對伊朗支持,同時為香港民主派人士黎智英與新疆維吾爾族發聲,指中國軍火庫直指美國。此發言凸顯共和黨內對川普對華政策的深層擔憂。

Why It Matters

美國參議院軍事委員會主席韋克爾向來是川普的堅定盟友,但近期公開批評其對華政策,特別是對中國國家主席習近平的接待禮遇,反映共和黨內對美中關係方向的分歧正加深。

美國總統川普以盛大排場接待中國國家主席習近平來訪,引發美國國會強烈反彈。向來是川普堅定盟友的聯邦參議院軍事委員會主席韋克爾(Roger Wicker),廿二日發表罕見的嚴厲抨擊,直指習近平是「殘暴、未經選舉產生且高壓統治的獨裁者」,反對白宮給予其如此鋪張的禮遇。這項發言標誌著共和黨重量級人士在美中峰會前夕,與白宮出現顯著分歧。

不建議邀請習近平訪華府

綜合美國政治新聞網站Politico與彭博報導,韋克爾的表態凸顯華府政壇對川普向北京示好的深層擔憂,特別是在美國對印太地區安全承諾的持久性,以及能否有效嚇阻中國對台灣發動入侵的防衛決心上。韋克爾強烈敦促川普,必須在雙方對話時明確提出台灣議題,並針對中國的軍事威脅表態。

請繼續往下閱讀...

韋克爾在參院院會中表示,「基於我們與習主席及中國共產黨之間存在的所有棘手問題,如果白宮事前徵詢我的意見,我會建議總統不要邀請習近平來華府,在美利堅合眾國接受如此鋪張的歡迎。」

促川普談軍事擴張與人權

由於經貿議題及美中在人工智慧(AI)領域的競爭預計將主導峰會議程,白宮預定廿四舉行盛大國宴,包括輝達(Nvidia)執行長黃仁勳、特斯拉執行長馬斯克、Meta執行長札克伯格、亞馬遜(Amazon)創辦人貝佐斯、Alphabet執行長皮查伊以及高通(Qualcomm)執行長艾蒙等科技業巨擘均受邀出席。

韋克爾對此表示:「眾所周知,一場正規的國是訪問少不了一場正規的國宴。我再次強調,如果是我的話,根本就不會安排這類活動。但既然賓客們將在用餐時交談,總統或許該在席間質問對方,中國大規模軍事擴張的目的何在,以及中國對伊朗的明確支持。」「我強烈建議,總統應該設法針對此事要求對方做出交代。」

指中國軍火庫正瞄準美國

在人權議題上,韋克爾呼籲川普應為遭監禁的香港民主派人士黎智英,以及中國境內的維吾爾族人發聲,並堅定反對中國當局對基督徒、藏傳佛教徒與法輪功學員的迫害。韋克爾強調:「我知道總統傾向與中國高層討論貿易與AI,這或許能取得進展。但在對話的每一分鐘裡,我們的三軍統帥都應當牢記,他的座上賓企圖宰制其周邊鄰國,且其龐大的軍火庫正直接瞄準美國。」

在韋克爾表態前,民主黨籍參議員杜賓與共和黨籍參議員巴德,也相繼對中國發動抨擊。巴德強調:「基於經濟現實,美國確實必須與中國交涉,但我們絕不能忘記,中國同時也是對手與勁敵。」
