基辛格：中美之间不存在“修昔底德陷阱” |基辛格|中美关系|修昔底德陷阱_新闻资讯

　　新华社北京3月19日电 (记者王卓伦) 93岁的美国前国务卿、中美建交的开拓者基辛格19日在“中国发展高层论坛2016”经济峰会上表示，中美之间不存在“修昔底德陷阱”，两国关系的前景是合作伙伴，而非对手。

　　“修昔底德陷阱近几年常被提到，指的是一个新崛起的国家迟早会同现存大国发生对抗甚至战争。”基辛格说，美国和中国是当今世界第一大、第二大经济体，两国在很多合作领域都取得了建设性的成果，尽管在一些领域存在分歧，但双方都有着坚定的决心去化解分歧、谋求共识。

　　“时代在发展，世界在进步。”在以“避免修昔底德陷阱”为主题的中美关系讨论中，基辛格反复强调这一点。他表示，环顾当今世界，化解地区冲突、构建和平秩序是总体趋势，中美都在为此付出行动。

　　“如今，有人把中美关系类比于一战前的英德关系，这不正确，因为我们所生活的时代和世界已经大不同。”基辛格说。

　　“半个多世纪过去了，世界各国早已吸取教训，我认为没有一个国家还想挑起世界大战。同时，和平的意识在提高，军事技术的极大进步，不仅不必然导致军事冲突，反而可以用来降低发生军事冲突的可能。”基辛格说。

　　基辛格表示，中美双方都认识到，一旦发生大规模的军事冲突，必将造成灾难性后果。

　　作为上世纪七十年代中美建交的开拓者和见证者，基辛格回想起1972年“上海公报”的签署过程。他表示，为达成这一公报，中美谈了很久。双方 发现，想要达成一个说服对方的绝对性结果是不可能的，所以选择从原则性角度阐述各自立场，最终达成和平共识，使中美关系走向正常化。

　　谈到中美关系的未来，基辛格强调“应该有长远的眼光”。“中美是合作伙伴，而非对手，这就是我所期待的。”基辛格说。(完)
