中柬“特殊关系”的形成(1954-1965)

1954年日内瓦会议以后的10年是中国和柬埔寨关系发展的重要时期。在这一时期中,两国关系经历了一个从彼此缺乏了解到在国际事务中密切合作的过程。在冷战时期,中国领导人视美国为对中国革命和中国国家安全的主要威胁,因此,他们对外政策的一个主要目标就是要打破美国对中国的孤立和封锁。为了反对和削弱美国这个主要敌人,中国领导人在外交领域中运用统一战线策略,分化对手并争取中立势力。就柬埔寨而言,中国领导人的主要考虑就是如何赢得西哈努克对中国的好感,争取他的合作,防止柬埔寨加入美国组织的反华包围圈。此外,中国领导人也希望通过柬埔寨来扩大中国在亚非中立国家中的影响。

The Making of a Special Relationship between China and Cambodia, 1954-1965

The decade after the conclusion of the 1954 Geneva Conference was an important period in the evolution of Sino-Cambodian relations. During this period, the Sino-Cambodian relationship underwent a major transformation. The leaders of the two countries overcame their initial lack of mutual understanding and developed a partnership of close cooper- ation in world affairs. During the Cold War, the Chinese leaders considered the United States as the primary threat to Chi- na＇ s revolution and national security. A key objective in their foreign policy was the frustration of America＇ s isolation and blockade strategy against China. In order to oppose and weaken the United States, the Chinese leaders applied the united front tactic in their foreign policy, seeking to divide opponents and court neutral forces. As to their approach to Cambodia, the Chinese leaders＇ primary concern was how to win Prince Sihanouk＇ s goodwill toward China and obtain his cooperation, preventing Cambodia from joining the anti-Chinese encirclement ring organized by the United States. In addition, the Chi- nese leaders hoped to increase China＇ s influence among Afro-Asian neutral countries by cooperating with Cambodia.
