澳联邦政府被批通过扩大国防出口加剧全球军备竞赛

The Australian federal government has been approved to increase the global arms race through the expansion of national defense exports

人民网悉尼1月31日电 据澳大利亚广播公司报道，近日澳大利亚援助团体批评澳联邦政府大幅度增加国防出口，指责正在加剧全球军备竞赛。

报道称，令人堪忧的是，澳政府还在关注中东和亚洲日益增长的武器市场。澳政府表示，希望澳大利亚成为世界十大国防出口国之一，并为想在海外销售产品的国防公司推出高达38亿澳元的贷款计划。

数据显示，澳大利亚的国防出口额每年约达20亿澳元，但国防工业部长克里斯托弗·派恩则表示，希望达到更高数额。他在澳大利亚广播公司一档节目里称：“我们出售的是国防产品，但我们尚未把它推进到下一个层面，在世界经济中价值1.5万亿澳元的市场上竞争。我们在质量和性能方面享有很高的声誉，我们要把它转化成产品和服务。澳大利亚将把出口重点放在我们亲密的盟友上，包括新西兰、加拿大、美国和英国。他还坚称，目前对武器出口的控制不会被稀释，所有程序都需要法律许可。武器出口战略的目的是使市场最大化，而我们之前并没有充分把握机会。”

澳大利亚国际发展委员会官员马克·珀赛尔则反驳，这一声明削弱了政府支持国际和平与稳定的主张。珀赛尔表示，在一个冲突时有发生的非常不稳定的国际环境中，应该努力利用外交来建立和平的国际关系，不应该参与武器营销的游戏，因为它会为世界带来巨大的悲痛和破坏。

国际特赦组织官员戴安娜·赛义德担忧称，澳大利亚政府表示希望增加对阿联酋地区的武器销售，这也就表明澳大利亚政府打算成为动荡地区的主要武器出口国。

据悉，澳大利亚出口信贷机构EFIC已经帮助国防公司获得了银行贷款。澳联邦政府还成立了一个澳大利亚国防出口办公室，为落实武器出口战略搭建指挥中心。

据斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所评估，在2012年至2016年间，澳大利亚已经成为世界第20大武器出口国。

The Australian federal government has been approved to increase the global arms race through the expansion of national defense exports

People's daily, Sydney, January, 31, according to Australia Broadcasting Corporation, Australia's aid groups criticized Australia's federal government's massive increase in defense exports, accusing it of intensifying the global arms race.

The report says it is worrying that the Australian government is also paying attention to the growing arms market in the Middle East and Asia. The Australian government says it wants Australia to become one of the ten largest defense exporters in the world, and to launch a loan plan of up to 3 billion 800 million Australian dollars for defense companies that want to sell products overseas.

Data show that Australia's defense exports amount to about 2 billion Australian dollars a year, but defense industry minister Christopher Pine said he hoped to achieve a higher level. He said in a Australia Broadcasting Corporation program: "we sell defense products, but we have not pushed it to the next level, competing in the world economy worth 1 trillion and 500 billion Australian dollars. We have a high reputation for quality and performance, and we have to convert it into products and services. Australia will focus its exports on our close allies, including New Zealand, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. He also insists that the current control of arms exports will not be diluted, and all procedures need legal permission. The aim of the weapon export strategy is to maximize the market, and we have not fully grasped the opportunity before. "

Mark Persel, an official for the Australian International Development Commission, retorted the statement that the statement undermined the government's support for international peace and stability. Purcell said in a conflict is not stable in the international environment, should strive to use diplomacy to build a peaceful international relations, should not engage in marketing weapons of the game, because it will bring great sorrow and destruction of the world.

Amnesty International Official Diana Said is worried that the Australian government has expressed its wish to increase arms sales to the United Arab Emirates, which indicates that the Australian government intends to become a major exporter of weapons in the volatile areas.

It is reported that the Australian export credit agency EFIC has helped the defense company get a bank loan. The Australian federal government has also established an Australian Defense export office to set up a command center for the implementation of the weapons export strategy.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Australia has become the world's twentieth largest weapon exporter between 2012 and 2016.
