Nikkei: US Moves Aircraft Carriers, Planes Closer to Taiwan Amid Reports of Pelosi’s Visit to Island_我的网站

一 |     【环球网报道 记者 索炎琦】据美国《纽约时报》25日报道，该媒体获得的一份美国国务院内部文件显示，美方正准备让此前因伊朗战事而撤离的美国外交官返回其驻中东大使馆岗位。    The US military hardware, including aircraft carriers and large aircraft, have been moved closer to Taiwan, amid House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s current tour of the Indo­­-Pacific region and reports about her possible trip to the island, according to the news outlet Nikkei Asia.,The information comes after the China Times quoted unnamed sources as saying that Pelosi may arrive in Taiwan on August 2 and meet with the island's leader, Tsai Ing-wen, the next day.,The sources claimed that the House Speaker is also expected to hold a meeting with other high-ranking officials, possibly in Taiwan, and leave the island on Wednesday. The Taiwanese Foreign Ministry has not yet commented on the report.,China Warns Military Won't 'Sit Idly By' If Pelosi Lands in Taiwan10:04 GMT,This followed the House speaker embarking last week on a trip to the Indo-Pacific, which includes visits to Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea. Pelosi did not specify whether Taiwan is on her schedule, amid escalating tensions between China and the US.,In a separate development last week, China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) kicked off military drills, conducting a firing exercise in the southeastern province of Fujian across the strait from Taiwan and closing the designated maritime area.,Earlier, Beijing issued several warnings, saying that Washington would “bear the consequences” if Pelosi visits Taiwan, something that Chinese authorities say would violate the “One China Policy”.,Chinese President Xi Jinping, for his part, warned US counterpart Joe Biden against “playing with fire” over Taiwan during a telephone call on 28 July.,As part of the “One China Policy”, Beijing opposes all forms of official contact between foreign governments and Taiwan, which is seen by Chinese authorities as an essential part of the country.。这表明华盛顿认为不会与伊朗重新爆发全面冲突。    报道称，这些美国外交官最早可能在本周开始陆续返回各自岗位。三名不愿透露姓名的美国官员也描述了相关政策变化情况。

三 |     美国务院在一份声明中表示，美方正持续评估其位于全球各地外交使团的安全态势，“根据最新评估，我们正在调整中东部分岗位的人员配置，以确保我们能够在继续推进美国外交政策目标的同时，保障我们人员的安全。”    《纽约时报》表示，上述文件意味着，尽管美国和伊朗之间的谈判陷入僵局，这也导致特朗普政府威胁要对伊朗实施新的经济制裁，但美国外交人员的重新调配计划仍在继续进行。一些现任和前任美国务院官员表示，重新部署驻中东外交人员一事表明“紧张局势有所缓和”。    8月17日，美国和伊朗谅解备忘录所设定的60天谈判窗口期期满。双方6月中旬远程签署这一备忘录，承诺在60天内进行谈判并达成最终协议。分析人士认为，美国特朗普政府原本希望通过谅解备忘录恢复霍尔木兹海峡通航，并为下一步核问题谈判创造条件，最终实现从伊朗战事中“体面退出”。
