一家设在华盛顿的研究机构说，美国一项有关向中国出口技术的新政策应该暂停，因为这项政策威胁到国家安全。这个名叫“威斯康辛核武控制计划”的机构在星期三公布的一份报告中提出了上述观点。这份报告批评去年10月就对华出口敏感技术的美国政策作出的改变。
按照这项新政策如果美国政府说相信这些中国公司把有关技术用于民事而不是军事目，中国公司将更容易获得美国的敏感技术。但是报告说，受益于新政策的两家公司与中国军方有联系，中国军方可能使用获得的技术进行现代化更新。
这个机构还说，其中一家公司与一个因涉嫌向伊朗或叙利亚出售禁运武器而受到美国国务院制裁的公司有关联。一名参与执行新政策的美国官员说，布什政府的总体政策一直是收紧、而不是放松对华技术出口管制。
A Washington-based research group says a new U.S. policy on technology exports to China should be suspended because it threatens national security. The group – called the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control – made the claim in a report released Wednesday. The report criticizes a change last October to U.S. rules on the export of sensitive technologies to China.
The policy makes it easier for Chinese firms to receive such technology if the U.S. government says they are trusted to use it for civilian and not military purposes.
But the report says two firms benefiting from the policy have ties to the Chinese military, which could use the technology to modernize.
The group also says one of the firms is linked to a company sanctioned by the U.S. State Department for allegedly selling banned weapons to Iran or Syria. A U.S. official involved in implementing the new measures says the administration’s overall policy has been to tighten, not loosen export controls to China.
