A China hedge?
防范中国?
EVEN by his own mercurial standards, thecontradictory signals sent out this week by NorthKoreas leader, Kim Jong Il, are unusual. One day his government was seizing the assets of aSouth Korean tourism venture in the North once hailed as a symbol of detente. Two days laterMr Kim, making his first visit to Russia in a decade, was discussing the possibility of a pipelinecarrying natural gas between Siberia and the two Koreas.
即便是以其常出人意料的标准来衡量,朝鲜领导人金正日本周放出的反常信号还是那么的非比寻常。某天,金将军的政府将曾被视为朝鲜半岛和解象征的金刚山旅游区内的韩方资产收归己有。两天之后,他又跑到俄罗斯,商讨铺设从西伯利亚到朝鲜和韩国的天然气输送管道,这是他十年来首次访问俄罗斯。
Mr Kims foray into Siberia began on August 20th, and was as usual by train . In Ulan-Ude, Mr Kim met Russias president, Dmitry Medvedev, who treated the DearLeader to some greasy salmon from Lake Baikal. Some in Russia have pushed the idea ofpiping Siberian gas to South Korea through the North, as well as connecting the three countriesby rail. Perhaps North Korea, desperate for cash, is really interested. More likely, the interest isfeigned. Russia is a useful supplier of free grain.
金正日对西伯利亚的突然袭击始于8月20日,一如既往地乘坐火车。俄罗斯总统梅德韦杰夫在乌兰乌德会见了这位贵客,并用贝加尔湖肥美的大马哈鱼款待了他。在俄国,有人推崇铺设西伯利亚至韩国的输气管道通过朝鲜,进而通过管道联通三国的理念。或许极度贫困的朝鲜是真的动心了。而更有可能的是,动心是假的,反正俄罗斯的便宜不占白不占。
