巴基斯坦《每日时报》1月3日刊发一篇题为《中巴经济走廊2023:希望与挑战》的专栏文章称,在中国优化调整疫情防控措施和巴基斯坦经济局势动荡等多重形势下,2023年的中巴经济走廊(CPEC)将面临新的希望与挑战。文章作者指出,巴中两国在教育、文化等领域的交流与合作正在日益加强。此外,基于中巴自贸协定第一阶段和第二阶段的全面展开,2023年巴中贸易格局将获得进一步拓展。
日前,《每日时报》还曾发布另一篇题为《中国—2023》的评论文章,认为新的一年中国国家领导人习近平将在区域与国际政治中扮演更加重要的角色。文章指出,过去十年中,习近平主席在政治与经济领域向世界表达了中国观点,表现卓越。自2013年以来,他展现出雄心壮志,希望领导中国人民实现梦想,“2023年,习近平主席将进一步推动构筑‘中国梦’”。
文章提到,2022年12月,习近平出席首届中国-海湾阿拉伯国家合作委员会峰会,中阿关系的深化加强将在未来助力中国梦的实现。此外,文章作者还强调,2023年将迎来“一带一路”倡议提出十周年,“数据表明,这项倡议在很大程度上取得了成功。随着其推行接近十年,该战略与国内政策的融合将更加系统化,并与中国西部地区的发展及全球化紧密相连。”
美国有线电视新闻网1月2日发表报道展望2023中国新气象,指出中国新阶段疫情防控政策的优化调整可能将对世界经济产生巨大影响。报道称,2023年中国经济的回升将为依赖中国的经济体发展提供至关重要的推动力。报道还提到,中国放宽出入境政策后,一些国家表示热烈欢迎,纷纷通过大使馆与文旅部门在社交媒体上向中国游客发出邀请。尽管有部分国家采取仅针对中国的入境限制,但很多医疗卫生专家都对此提出批评,指出其缺乏科学依据,存在煽动种族主义与仇外情绪的风险。文章最后写到,随着中国逐渐开放国门,更多高层对话与国际交流已在筹备中,法国总统马克龙、荷兰首相吕特、意大利总理梅洛尼及美国国务卿布林肯等都有望在今年访华。
俄罗斯战略文化基金会网站2022年12月31日报道称,中国正在制定一系列措施,加快推动2023年经济增长。文章指出,值得注意的是,中国计划通过提升对创新型、高质量产品(特别是绿色产业)的新需求来刺激消费,扩充国民对低碳产品的需求。文章援引中金公司的分析师评论表示,2023年中国经济增长将转向由数字和绿色经济主导的发展模式。

西班牙《经济学家报》不久前发文称,据美国彭博社预测,2023年全球经济增速或将为2.1%,在几大主要经济体当中,中国经济增长将更加突出,是推动全球经济增长的最大贡献力量。报道综合经合组织与彭博社的预测结果指出,美国明年经济增长约为0.4%,欧盟经济增长或为0.2%,中国经济增长则有望达到4.7%。西班牙埃尔卡诺皇家研究所高级研究员马里奥·埃斯特万表示,中国将继续成为世界经济增长的引擎,中国庞大的经济规模及其增长速度都表明了中国是稳定世界经济的中流砥柱。(史赫奕 王鲁平 黄蓉)
中新网评:处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称,将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对,企图将核污水“一倒了之”,把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
2011年,福岛核电站事故发生后,大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋,对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害,数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日,作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由,在2021年4月13日,正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多,日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称,这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全,甚至“可以喝”,这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上,经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质,核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收,长期来看,将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁,最终危害人类健康。
因此,核污水排海计划推出后,遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示,福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中,约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场,反对该计划。
日本政府认为,核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案,但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海,核污水会随着洋流流动,其影响势必会跨越国界,危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称,相关研究认为,福岛核污水如果排放入海,约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域,该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告,若日本将所有核污水排入海中,不到半年,整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁,包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国,有义务保护海洋环境。然而,在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上,日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估,但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论,并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下,日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设,这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道,日本必须正视各方合理关切,在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后,制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远,若只顾眼前,执意将核污水排放入海,不仅其自身,周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单,其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
