UK Follows US in ‘Upgrading’ Taiwan Ties & Escalating Tensions With China, Analysts Say_我的网站

穆桂英挂帅

一 |     The timing of the London visit by Taipei’s trade negotiator John Deng was important, says Dr. Victor Teo, political scientist specializing in international relations in the Asia-Pacific, because if China were to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) before the island, “it would mean the certain exclusion of Taiwan from this trade body in the future.”,After the reported trade talks in London on 16 June, Beijing, whose official policy envisions a peaceful unification of Taiwan with Mainland China, was quick to reiterate its stance.,“Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, it is not a country, which is universally recognized by the international community,” a Chinese diplomatic spokesperson was cited by Politico as saying.,The UK Trade Department stopped short of offering any clarifications, while confirming the meeting of its officials with Deng.,The British side was governed by “political and economic interests” when it opted to risk igniting China’s wrath, suggests Dr. Victor Teo.,The trade talks between the UK and Taiwan may also reflect a “change in UK’s policy toward Taiwan as a result of changes in its China policy,” notes Dr. Zhang Baohui, director of the Center for Asian Pacific Studies at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.,“The US led this trend by comprehensively upgrading its relations with Taipei since the Trump administration,” says Baohui, adding that Britain tended to tread with caution in its relations with Taiwan in the past. However, now the UK is “adjusting its China policy.”,The clash over Hong Kong, according to Dr. Zhang Baohui, “significantly enhanced their differences and mutual strategic mistrust.”,“For example, it sent an aircraft carrier to the South China Sea last summer, very much to the disliking of Beijing. The UK also formed a new trilateral security mechanism with Australia and the US last year while not naming China as its target. The UK's trade talk with Taiwan could be consistent with this new trend,” he said.,Beijing's reaction to any improper statement such as challenging Taiwan as an inseparable part of China can be expected, insisted Dr. Chang Ching, research fellow at the Taiwan-based Society for Strategic Studies.,However, the British government has a clear policy towards the sensitive One-China issue, the prominent military expert on the People's Liberation Army and regional security in Taiwan noted.,China Urges US to ‘Revoke Arms Sales Plan’ With Taiwan on News of $120 Million Deal for Ship Parts9 June, 20:46 GMT,“In the aspect of trade and commerce, any discussion with representatives from Taipei regarding the participation in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership trading arrangement does not violate the One-China principle kept by Her Majesty's government. Nonetheless, it is originated by a media report and cannot be fully verified as the British official position,” he stated.,Dr. Chang Ching advised against defining such a statement as a “policy shift” within British government diplomacy.,US Provokes China in New Row Over Taiwan17 June, 09:14 GMT,‘Trade With China’ Factor,Regarding the regional fallout from a possible row between the UK and China over Taiwan, it is too early to predict the consequences, according to Dr. Zhang Baohui.,Underscoring that unlike Sino-US relations, Britain and China are not “strategic competitors,” he clarified:,“The UK has already boosted its presence in the region by its new trilateral security pact with Australia and the United States. It has also enhanced defense cooperation with Japan, by jointly developing the next generation jet fighter. However, Britain should have less incentives, compared to the US to have a contentious relationship with China.”,Sino-British relations should not have a major impact on the region in the foreseeable future, Dr. Zhang Baohui concluded.,Any spat over Taiwan would boost tensions in UK-China relations and West-China relations, Dr. Victor Teo suggested, but underscored the “declining economic circumstances” currently being faced by many countries. Accordingly, trade with China would likely become more important, according to him.,“As most Western countries have agreed on the 'One China Principle', it is hard to see how they can persist in promoting Taiwan’s interests steadfastly at the expense of their relationship with China,” Dr. Victor Teo said.,A row between London and Beijing would not affect anything in the region at all, Dr. Chang Ching asserted, adding:,“After all, Beijing is very near and London is too remote."。

二 |     二十年前,如果你生活在疟疾流行的100个国家之一,当孩子出现发烧和发冷的症状,你大概率无法得到一个明确的诊断。即便你去的诊所做出正确诊断,但因为普遍存在耐药性问题,你还是难以买到有效的药物。
■ 卢旺达的鲁米翁扎,一名社区卫生工作者在孩子妈妈的帮助下,监测男孩的营养摄入量。全球基金通过卢旺达卫生部支持了该计划卫生官员很可能永远不会知道,在你的社区有多少孩子患病,又有多少人对药物毫无反应。这意味着他们无法筹划正确的干预措施,科学家也无法获得开发新药所需的信息。那个时候,这些进步尚未发生:一个庞大的训练有素的社区卫生工作者网络,挨家挨户进行快速检测并分发高效的药物;将每个疟疾病例的信息通过移动设备发送到一个综合数据系统,以便卫生官员迅速应对疫情,科学家跟踪耐药性;大规模分发药浸蚊帐,大大降低了孩子感染疟疾的机会。

三 | 我所说的“那个时候”,指的正是在全球基金成立之前。过去二十年来,抗击艾滋病、结核病和疟疾的全球基金与政府、非营利组织和社区紧密合作,利用现有工具并不断投资于新方法,抗击这些疾病。捍卫全球健康的“瑞士军刀”很早之前我就说,全球基金是人们能为彼此做的最好的事情之一,也是最有效的事情之一。过去二十年,全球基金支持的项目已将艾滋病、结核病和疟疾造成的死亡人数减少了一半以上,挽救了5000多万人的生命。在撒哈拉以南非洲,预期寿命增加了12年,这在一定程度上要归功于全球基金。全球基金是捍卫全球健康的“瑞士军刀”——它配备了许多工具,能解决许多问题。

四 | 有时这些问题并非艾滋病、结核病或疟疾。全球基金给这些疾病的防治带来了变革,同时在新冠大流行期间,对抗击新冠产生了重大影响。

■ 2021年全球基金提供的赠款在艾滋病、结核病、疟疾领域所占的比例 / 全球基金可以毫不夸张地说,因为全球基金,低收入国家,乃至全世界,避免了新冠大流行期间最糟糕情况的发生,因为全球基金让这些成为了可能:实验室能力、诊断测试、卫生工作者,甚至是促成了快速和互信合作的多边关系。最重要的是,全球基金一直是向低收入国家提供新冠应对资金(除用于疫苗外)的最大捐助者。在乌干达,死亡人数直线下降,希望升起要了解全球基金的投资对一个国家的意义,可以看看乌干达的例子。乌干达长期以来一直在与艾滋病、结核病和疟疾斗争,并且取得了巨大的成就。自全球基金成立以来,那里的艾滋病死亡人数下降了75%,疟疾死亡人数下降了57%。结核病死亡人数虽然有所增加,但如果没有这些控制措施,死亡人数将高出10倍。也因为有了全球基金,乌干达得以在新冠袭来时迅速做出反应:● 因为有了多年搭建起来的关系和物流能力,当氧气瓶出现短缺,全球基金采购了氧气瓶并送至乌干达的各个医院。● 政府和私营部门已经到位的金融工具和赠款使得快速筹资成为可能。

六 | ● 社区信任的卫生工作者,一直在做艾滋病、结核病和疟疾的诊断和治疗,能迅速转向提供新冠的检测服务。诊断设备被调整为新冠检测。乌干达近四分之三的新冠检测由全球基金促成。
■ 在应对艾滋病、结核病和疟疾方面,全球基金主要的投资 / 全球基金面对这一历史性威胁,因为有了全球基金,世界的状况要好得多。

七 | 尽管如此,新冠还是给世界带来了沉重打击。

八 | 疟疾死亡人数正在上升,结核病死亡人数也在上升。抗击艾滋病的进展正在放缓。用了20年时间才将这些疾病的死亡人数减少了一半,我们等不了下一个20年再减少一半。因为,尽管现在的情况已经有了很大的改善,但每分钟仍有一名儿童死于疟疾。我们知道什么是有效的。惊人的创新正在到来,比如更好的疫苗和诊断方法,克服耐药性的新药,以及控制疟疾威胁的创新方法——比如能杀死蚊子的糖饵,且只会杀死蚊子(对人类无害)。一旦这些新的工具准备就绪,全球基金就将提供资源,把它们从实验室带到社区。换句话说,全球基金是其中最重要的创新。为什么盖茨基金会承诺向全球基金增资9.12亿美元在盖茨基金会,我们全力投入全球基金——自其成立以来,一直如此。本月,我们承诺到2026年,向全球基金增资9.12亿美元。

九 | 我们请求各国领导人也做出重大承诺,这样世界就有机会实现联合国的可持续发展目标。政府、私营部门和非营利组织都在全球基金的成功中发挥了巨大作用——也是其未来发展的关键。如果每个人都能尽一份力,全球基金就能在三年内,从艾滋病、结核病和疟疾这些顽疾手中挽救2000万人的生命。不仅如此,它还可以继续武装世界,应对尚未出现的威胁。

十 | (盖茨基金会)。
