Exploring the Changing Role of Chinese Entities in WMD Proliferation

摘要

本文研究了中国实体在敏感材料与敏感技术扩散方面的行为特性。许多文献已经对源于中国企业的武器扩散问题进行了探讨，也对中国政府与国际各方所采取的防扩散行动做出了评估。但是，很少有学者能以系统性的、持续的方式来观察中国企业、区分它们的类型、并理解其武器扩散行为模式的演变。本文的观点是:中国国有企业在全球武器扩散问题中的作用是在不断减小的，本文也试图解释这个现象。我们分析了关于这个趋势的各种理论，也阐述了中国在武器防扩散方面将带来的相应挑战。%This paper seeks to provide an original examination of the nature of the proliferation of sensitive materials and technologies by Chinese entities. A number of publications have attempted to understand the issue of proliferation stemming from businesses based in China, with many having commented on the efforts undertaken both by international actors and by the Chinese government to prevent it. However, relatively few scholars have sought, in any systematic and sustained way, to understand the types of Chinese companies involved in proliferation and the evolution of their behaviour. This paper seeks to argue and account for the declining role of, and concern regarding, Chinese state-owned enterprise in the global proliferation problem. Different accounts for this change, and the relating proliferation challenge posed by China, are examined.
