新年伊始,1月20日,美国国防部长科恩在一次会议上公布了“国家导弹防御系统”和“战区导弹防御系统”的新计划,并要求为此修改《反弹道导弹条约》。第2天,我外交部发言人在记者招待会上说,中国对美国大力发展导弹防御系统表示严重关注。 新华社在转发有关美国导弹防御系统时曾称,这一系统被认为是美国前总统里根时期拟定的“星球大战”的“后代”。 At the beginning of the new year, January 20, US Defense Secretary Cohen announced at a meeting a new plan for the “National Missile Defense System” and “Theater Missile Defense System” and requested that the ABM be amended accordingly. On the second day, my Foreign Ministry spokesman said at a press conference that China is seriously concerned about the United States' vigorous development of the missile defense system. When relaying the relevant U.S. missile defense system, Xinhua said it was considered the “descendant” of the “Star Wars” drafted by the former U.S. President Reagan.
