美国想阻止中国收购乌克兰航空发动机工厂

The prospect of a Ukrainian engine factory selling out to China has so alarmed Washington that none other than national security adviser John Bolton is seeking to stop it.

近日，中国欲收购乌克兰一家航空发动机工厂，这令美国政府十分警觉，以至于美国国家安全顾问约翰•博尔顿本人正试图阻止这种情况的发生。

Bolton is headed to Kiev after the G7 summit in France, and said on Monday he was looking forward to meetings with “partners” there, to support the government’s vision for a “stronger and more prosperous Ukraine.”

博尔顿将在法国G7峰会结束后前往基辅，他在周一时表示，他期待在那里与“伙伴”会面，以支持政府对“更强大、更繁荣的乌克兰”的愿景。

He did not comment, however, on the Wall Street Journal story from Friday that Motor Sich, which is seeking approval from a Kiev watchdog to sell the controlling stake to two Chinese companies. This has raised alarms in Washington, where hawks worry that Beijing will acquire more than just the plant in Zaporozhye, but the technology and expertise to build helicopter and airplane engines.

不过，他没有对《华尔街日报》上周五的报道置评。当时《华尔街日报》报道称，马达西奇公司正在寻求一家基辅监管机构的批准，将控股权出售给两家中国公司。这在华盛顿引起了警惕，鹰派人士担心，北京方面将获得的不仅是这家位于扎波罗热的工厂，还会获得制造直升机和飞机发动机的技术和专业知识。

Beijing Skyrizon Aviation Industry Investment had already tried to buy almost 49 percent of Motor Sich shares in 2017, but was blocked by the Ukrainian security services.

2017年，北京天骄航空产业投资有限公司曾试图收购马达西奇公司近49%的股份，但被乌克兰安全部门阻止。

Now Skyrizon has partnered with Xinwei Group to make another bid, this time for more 51 percent of the company’s shares, while a 25 percent stake would go to Ukroboronprom, the state military conglomerate. The purchase must be approved by the Antimonopoly Committee – which is where Bolton comes in.

如今，北京天骄航空产业投资有限公司已与北京信威科技集团股份有限公司合作，再次出价收购马达西奇公司51%以上的股份，而马达西奇25%的股份将捐赠给乌克兰国有国防集团。但这笔交易必须得到反垄断委员会的批准——而这正是博尔顿的切入点。

Ukraine’s only aircraft engine plant, founded in 1907, has fallen on hard times since the 2014 coup in Kiev resulted in a trade war with Russia, formerly its biggest customer. Motor Sich is not the only defense giant to suffer, either. Antonov, for whose transport planes Motor Sich made engines, shuttered its doors in 2016 and folded into Ukroboronprom.

乌克兰这家唯一的航空发动机工厂建于1907年，它此前主要向俄罗斯供应产品，但自2014年基辅政变导致乌克兰与俄罗斯爆发贸易战以来，这家工厂就陷入了困境。当然，受影响的也不仅仅只是马达西奇。安东诺夫航空公司运输机的发动机由马达西奇公司制造。2016年，这家公司关闭了自己的大门，并入了乌克兰国有国防工业集团。

Last August, after pressure from Washington stopped Motor Sich from working with the Chinese, one politician argued that it would only be fair for the US to step in as a customer.

去年8月，在华盛顿方面的压力阻止了马达西奇与中国的合作后，一位政界人士认为，美国以买家身份介入才称得上公平。

“If the Americans do not want us to sell to the Chinese, let them them buy our aircraft engines,” said Oleh Lyashko. The controversial nationalist’s party had 22 seats in the Rada at the time, but failed to clear the threshold in last month’s parliamentary election, losing all of them.

（乌克兰激进党领导人）奥列格‧利亚申科此前曾表示：“如果美国人不想让我们卖给中国人，那就让他们买我们的飞机引擎吧”。这个有争议的民族主义政党当时在乌克兰议会拥有22个席位，但在上个月的议会选举中未能跨越门槛，失去了所有席位。

Ukraine’s new president Volodymyr Zelensky, who won a landslide victory over the US-backed Petro Poroshenko in April. It remains to be seen if he will respond to pressure from Washington like his predecessor, at least where the fate of Motor Sich is concerned.

今年4月，乌克兰新总统弗拉基米尔•泽连斯基压倒性优势击败了美国支持的彼得•波罗申科。他是否会像他的前一任一样，对来自华盛顿的压力有所反应呢，至少在关乎马达西奇命运方面，还有待观察。
