美國對與朝鮮貿易的中國企業(yè)加以制裁

The US has imposed more sanctions on North Korea as well as Chinese firms that trade with the regime, as part of its campaign to convince Pyongyang to abandon its missile and nuclear weapons programmes.

美國加大了對朝鮮以及與朝進行貿易的中國企業(yè)的制裁，作為其說服平壤放棄導彈和核武器計劃的行動的一部分。

The Treasury yesterday unveiled sanctions on one Chinese individual, 13 entities that included four Chinese trading companies, and 20 shipping vessels that it says are helping North Korea evade UN sanctions.

美國財政部昨日宣布將一名中國個人、13家實體(包括4家中國貿易公司)以及20艘航運船舶列入制裁名單，稱這些制裁目標正在幫助朝鮮規(guī)避聯(lián)合國制裁。

Steven Mnuchin, Treasury secretary, said the US was “steadfast in our determination to maximise economic pressure to isolate it from outside sources of trade and revenue’’. He added that the latest sanctions targeted companies that engaged in hundreds of millions of dollars of trade with North Korea.

美國財政部長史蒂文•姆努欽(Steven Mnuchin)表示，美國“決心施加最大程度的經濟壓力，隔絕朝鮮的外部貿易和收入來源”。他還表示，最新制裁措施針對的是與朝鮮進行數(shù)億美元貿易的公司。

Donald Trump on Monday signalled he was preparing to hit North Korea with more sanctions when he announ­ced he was putting it back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. His administration has been leading a global effort — dubbed “maximum pressure” by the president — to encourage countries to halt trade and other financial transactions with the regime of Kim Jong Un.

唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)周一宣布重新將朝鮮列入支持恐怖主義國家名單，這預示他已在準備進一步對朝鮮實施制裁。特朗普政府一直在領導全球努力——美國總統(tǒng)稱之為“最大限度壓力”——鼓勵各國停止與金正恩(Kim Jong Un)政權的貿易和其他金融交易。

The so-called secondary sanctions on Chinese companies were imposed on Dandong Kehua Economic and Trade, Dandong Xianghe Trading, and Dandong Hongda Trade. The Treasury said the firms exported $650m of goods to North Korea from 2013 to the end of this August. It also sanctioned Dandong Dongyuan Industrial Co, and its owner Sun Sidong. The Treasury said the company had expor­ted $28m worth of goods in recent years, including equipment associated with nuclear reactors.

針對中國企業(yè)的所謂二次制裁的對象包括丹東科華經貿有限公司(Dandong Kehua Economic and Trade)、丹東祥和商貿有限公司(DanDong XiangHe Trading)以及丹東鴻達貿易有限公司(Dandong Hongda Trade)。美國財政部稱，從2013年至今年8月底，這些公司向朝鮮出口了價值6.5億美元的貨物。同時受制裁的還有丹東東源實業(yè)有限公司(Dandong Dongyuan Industrial Co)及其所有人孫嗣東。美國財政部稱，該公司近年向朝鮮出口了價值2800萬美元的商品，其中包括與核反應堆相關的設備。

The US also sanctioned six North Korean shipping companies and 20 vessels, in addition to an entity called Korea South-South Co-operation Corporation it said exported North Korean workers to China, Russia, Cambodia and Poland.

美國還制裁了6家朝鮮航運公司和20艘船舶，還有一家名為Korea South-South Co-operation Corporation的實體，美方稱其負責向中國、俄羅斯、柬埔寨和波蘭輸出朝鮮工人。

“We are also sanctioning the shipping and transportation companies, and their vessels, that facilitate North Korea’s trade and its deceptive manoeuvres,” Mr Mnuchin said.

姆努欽表示：“我們還在制裁那些為朝鮮的貿易和欺騙行動提供便利的航運和運輸公司以及他們旗下的船舶。”

The US has this year sanctioned a slew of North Korean individuals and entities and has also targeted Chinese and Russian companies Washington accuses of helping to facilitate Pyong­yang’s weapons programmes. The UN has also imposed two sets of sanctions which, when added to previous measures, mean almost 90 per cent of North Korea’s economy has been sanctioned.

美國今年制裁了大批朝鮮個人和實體，還將華盛頓指責幫助平壤武器計劃的中國和俄羅斯企業(yè)列入制裁名單。聯(lián)合國已經出臺了兩套制裁措施，再加上之前實施的制裁，意味著朝鮮近90%的經濟處在制裁范圍內。

North Korea has this year stepped up its pace of missile tests, including launching intercontinental missiles for the first time, and conducted its sixth, and more powerful, nuclear test. But the regime has not tested a missile in more than two months, leading to speculation it was either concerned about a possible US military strike, or wanted to provide an opening to start talks. Rex Tillerson, US secretary of state, on Monday said it was too early to say if the pain had caused North Korea to halt testing.

朝鮮今年加快了導彈試射的步伐(包括首次試射洲際彈道導彈)，并進行了威力更強大的第六次核試驗。但朝鮮政權已有兩個多月沒有再試射導彈，外界猜測其要么擔心美國可能發(fā)動軍事打擊，要么希望為開啟談判提供一個契機。美國國務卿雷克斯•蒂勒森(Rex Tillerson)周一表示，現(xiàn)在就說是制裁造成的痛苦導致朝鮮停止相關試驗還為時過早。
