China is making big moves in Antarctica as it attempts to position itself for maximum influence on the world's last unclaimed piece of land, Jane Perlez reports for The New York Times.
据《纽约时报》记者裴若思向该报报道,中国正在南极洲展开重大举动,力图在这片仅存的尚未被人类征服的土地上谋得具有最大影响力的战略位置。
Although Beijing did not establish its first Antarctic research base until 1985, Chinese efforts to expand its influence across the continent have intensified and are now outpacing other nations' plans.
中国直至1985年才在南极洲建立了第一个考察站,尽管如此,近年来,中国加紧了自己向这块跨洋大陆扩张影响力的步骤,其步伐之快已经超出了其他国家的计划。
"China’s operations on the continent — it opened its fourth research station last year, chose a site for a fifth, and is investing in a second icebreaker and new ice-capable planes and helicopters — are already the fastest-growing of the 52 signatories to the Antarctic Treaty," Perlez notes.
记者裴若思称:“中国在去年设置了第四个南极考察站,还为第五个南极考察站选定了位置,现在还在投资建造第二艘破冰船、可以在冰上升降的新型飞机和直升机等考察设备——中国在南极洲的建设步伐在52个《南极条约》签订国中是进展最快的。
