周二,中国驻吉尔吉斯斯坦大使馆遭遇自杀式袭击,导致多人受伤。在中国按照一带一路计划扩大在中亚投资之际,这件事很可能会引发北京方面的担忧。
The Chinese embassy in Kyrgyzstan was hit by a suicide attack on Tuesday leaving several injured, in a development likely to worry Beijing as it steps up investments in Central Asia under its One Belt One Road initiative.
官方的中国中央电视台(CCTV)在其微博(Sina Weibo)账号上发帖称,据吉尔吉斯斯坦卫生部称,一携带炸弹的汽车冲进中国驻吉尔吉斯斯坦大使馆,在馆区内发生爆炸,造成至少一人死亡两人受伤。
Citing Kyrgyzstan’s health ministry, China’s state broadcaster – CCTV – said in a post on its Sina Weibo microblog that a car carrying a bomb had rammed the gates of the embassy, after which there had been an explosion inside its grounds leading to death of at least one person and the injury of at least two.
吉尔吉斯斯坦媒体发布的照片显示,大使馆的窗户被震碎,碎片散落一地。
Photos published by Kyrgyz media showed the windows of the embassy had been shattered and debris littered the compound.
警察和救护人员在接到电话后赶到现场。
Police and ambulance services have been called to the scene.
当地媒体报道称,医务人员表示,死者为驾车冲进使馆的人,在爆炸中受伤的为车辆附近的人。
According to local media, medics have said the fatality was the driver of the vehicle while those injured were bystanders wounded in the blast.
眼下还不清楚这起袭击背后的动机。
The motivation for the attack was not immediately clear.
但中国大使馆成为攻击目标很可能会令北京方面感到惊慌。
But the targeting of a Chinese embassy is likely to cause consternation in Beijing.
许多中亚人对中国在该地区日益增强的经济影响力怀有戒心;今年早些时候,哈萨克斯坦各地爆发了一波抗议活动,原因是人们担心新土地法会允许中国企业大肆收购该国土地。
Many people in Central Asia are wary of China’s growing economic role in the region; earlier this year, a wave of protests broke out across Kazakhstan on the back of fears that a new land code would allow Chinese companies to buy up Kazakh land.
中亚地区还居住着不少维吾尔人。北京方面长期以来一直担心,中亚可能会沦为在中国动荡不安的新疆发动袭击的人的一个中转站。
The region is also home to several million Uighurs, and Beijing has long feared that it could be a staging post for attacks in its restive Xinjiang province.
