Powell adds that the agency envelope for Australia's foreign and defense policy has been constrained by the ways the U.S. articulated its concerns.

他總結(jié)道，基廷的觀點(diǎn)把這些問(wèn)題清楚地重新提到澳大利亞國(guó)家議程上，對(duì)澳大利亞和整個(gè)亞洲地區(qū)來(lái)說(shuō)，都是一種貢獻(xiàn)。(記者 陳天浩)

Australia’s former Prime Minister Paul Keating told ABC’s 7.30 that “Taiwan is not a vital Australian interest” and it is “Chinese real estate”, saying that both the U.S. and Australia subscribed to the one-China policy and had done so for decades. During an interview with China News Network, Warwick Powell, former policy advisor to Kevin Rudd and a senior fellow at Taihe Institute, says that Keating’s view has been a long-standing Australian view in place for over 50 years.

欧宝体育官方近期，澳大利亞前總理基廷在澳大利亞廣播公司(ABC)時(shí)政訪談節(jié)目《7.30》痛批現(xiàn)政府的國(guó)防和外交政策拋棄工黨傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀，并表示，美國(guó)人說(shuō)要保護(hù)臺(tái)灣，可實(shí)際上臺(tái)灣是中國(guó)的“地產(chǎn)”。就此，中新網(wǎng)采訪了澳大利亞前總理陸克文政策顧問(wèn)、太和智庫(kù)高級(jí)研究員鮑韶山(Warwick Powell)。

鮑韶山認(rèn)為，事實(shí)上，基廷的觀點(diǎn)并不是全新的，也代表了澳大利亞50多年來(lái)的長(zhǎng)久立場(chǎng)。受美國(guó)影響，澳大利亞外交和國(guó)防政策的操作空間十分有限。他表示，澳大利亞應(yīng)盡力勸說(shuō)美國(guó)放棄對(duì)亞太地區(qū)霸主地位的執(zhí)念，否則只能給亞洲的地區(qū)穩(wěn)定、和平和發(fā)展帶來(lái)威脅。

According to Powell, Australia is better positioned to persuade Washington that reclaiming primacy in the Asia-Pacific is no longer viable or realistic. Instead, America’s pursuit is a threat to regional stability, peace, and prosperity.
