韩国关闭开城工业园受质疑

韩国统一部部长洪容杓(Hong Yong-pyo)本周表示，这笔钱有70%被金正恩(Kim Jong Un)政权用于核武与导弹研发。

But when lawmakers pushed him for evidence to back the claim, noting that Seoul could have breached UN sanctions if it knowingly funded the North’s nuclear programme, he said the government did not have any. The ministry later backtracked on this and said it had evidence that could not be disclosed.

但当韩国国会议员敦促洪容杓拿出证据支持其说法时（议员们指出，如果韩国政府在知情的情况下资助了朝鲜的核计划，那它可能已经违反了联合国的制裁决议），他表示，政府手中并没有任何证据。韩国统一部后来修正了这一声明，表示有证据、但不能公开。

The confusion, which has prompted calls for Mr Hong’s resignation, has distracted from the real question, says Chun Yung-woo, head of the Korean Peninsula Future Forum, a think-tank.

智库“朝鲜半岛未来论坛”(Korean Peninsula Future Forum)负责人千英宇(Chun Yung-woo)表示，这种混乱（已引发了要求洪容杓辞职的呼声）分散了对真正问题的注意力。

“It doesn’t make a difference whether Kim Jong Un uses money from this or that pocket,” he says. The industrial park had to be closed, he insists, to bolster South Korea’s diplomatic position as it pushes China and others to impose tougher sanctions against North Korea.
