美國國務院東亞暨太平洋事務助理國務卿史達偉(David Stilwell)17日在美國聯邦參議院外交關係委員會一場聽證會中表示,中國近來在全球的行為,並非一個負責任的全球行為者(responsible global actor),而是「目無法紀的惡霸」(lawless bully)。
Stilwell said in the past several months there had been "particularly egregious examples of Beijing's conduct."
These included violence on its border with India and "aggressive" moves in the South China Sea, around Taiwan, and in waters China disputes with Japan.
He also referred to alleged Chinese attempts to "wipe out" Mongolian and Tibetan culture, "a continued campaign of repression and forced labor" in Xinjiang and Beijing's imposition of a "draconian" National Security Law in Hong Kong.
"These are not the actions of a responsible global actor, but a lawless bully," he said.
