华尔街日报独家披露,中方在川习峰会期间要求为习近平预留五小时休息时间并在白宫安排专用休息室,仅限夫人彭丽媛陪同,其他代表团成员不得进入。报道指出习近平体力状况引发关注,其行程安排以休息需求为主,包括拒绝共进工作午餐、国家档案馆参观仅十分钟等细节。

Why It Matters

川习峰会是中美领导人重要外交互动,向来备受国际关注。此次访问原定包含工作午餐等正式安排,但中方以休息需求为由调整行程。

美国华尔街日报二日独家披露,美国总统川普与中国国家主席习近平九月舉行峰會期間,中方提出不尋常要求:為習近平預留五小時休息時間,並在白宮安排專用休息室,罕見揭露現年七十三歲的習近平體力狀況。

報導引述知情人士指出,中方要求美方在白宮西廂準備私人休息室,供習近平在活動空檔休息,且僅限夫人彭麗媛陪同使用,其他中方代表團成員,包括習近平辦公廳主任蔡奇都不得進入。

習需時間休息 拒安排共進午餐

峰會前約一個月,中方先遣團隊拒絕九月廿四日川習共進工作午餐的安排,理由是希望讓習有更多休息時間。為此,峰會議程留下約五小時空檔。習兩天的訪問中,廿四日是唯一完整的一天。

曾負責安排過三次國是訪問的布希政府時期國家安全會議中國事務主任韋德寧說,安排休息室前所未見並「不尋常」,且峰會實質會談時間短到「令人驚訝」。會議接近中午開始,過午便結束,習離開白宮後,直到傍晚才出席國宴。

此外,習抵達當晚沒有安排活動,訪問最後一天參觀美國國家檔案館也僅停留約十分鐘,遠短於美方原先規劃。消息人士表示,習團隊是以他能站多久、能走多遠及休息需求安排行程,雖然十四小時飛行與時差足以解釋部分行程調整,但仍引發關注。九月初的印度金磚國家峰會,習曾因身體不適缺席晚宴。

另一個跡象是,習動作小心翼翼:抵達當天走下專機舷梯時,一手緊握著彭麗媛,另一手扶著扶手;廿五日在國家檔案館走上階梯時也牽著彭麗媛的手,看似要靠她撐著。中國官方媒體黃金時段新聞則剪掉相關畫面。

Open Questions

  • 习近平具体休息安排的医学依据是什么?
  • 白宫是否曾为其他外国领导人提供类似专用休息室?
  • 此次行程调整是否会影响峰会实质议题的讨论深度?
