太平洋岛国位于“21世纪海上丝绸之路”的南线,“一带一路”倡议成为进一步密切中国与岛国关系的重要纽带。中国是太平洋岛国重要的贸易伙伴,也是南太平洋地区最大的援助国之一。然而,岛国报纸对中国援助活动的反应存有差异,一些地区观察家、政府官员甚至对中国的援助表现出了“忧虑”,担心中国会取代美国及其盟国的地位,建立新的地区秩序。报纸上的中国形象直接关系到中国在南太平洋地区的“软实力”。因而,中国政府要加深与岛国政府的沟通交流,纠正业已存在的偏见认识;要实现与岛国的民心相通,关注岛国基本民生需求;要妥善处理与南太平洋地区域外国家的关系,冷静处理台湾当局在岛国的行为;要为中国企业在岛国投资创造条件,减轻投资企业的负担,提升企业活力和竞争力。
<<The Pacific Island countries are located along the south line of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. It helps to enhance the relations between China and the Pacific Island countries. China is an important trading partner and one of the largest donor countries to the Pacific Island countries. However,there are different views on China’s aid activities. Some regional observers and government officials are even anxious about China’s aid. They are worried that China will replace the United States’ status and re-establish a new regional order. The image in the newspapers is directly related to China’s “soft power”. Therefore,the Chinese government should 1) deepen its communication with the Pacific Island countries’ governments and rectify the existing prejudices,2) enhance people-to-people communication and pay more attention to people’s basic needs,3) handle properly the relations with other powers in the South Pacific region,4) create conditions for Chinese enterprises to invest in these countries,reduce their burden and enhance their vitality and competitiveness.
