2022年,美国出台了“芯片+法案”
“国家安全”是一个非常模糊的说法,但显然美国想阻止其他国家发展技术赶超自己,他们想继续当技术领导者。世界需要的是合作和团结,而不是试图阻碍其他国家的进步。我们对这些趋势感到十分担忧,支持发展中国家努力寻找自己的发展途径,并抵御美国的措施。
英文原文:
Guancha: Mr Correa, could you briefly describe to our viewers the work that South Centre does?
Correa: The South Centre is an intergovernmental organization. We have 55 members. The South Centre aims at providing policy-oriented research for developing countries to develop national, regional policies, which are adequate for the development efforts they undertake. And also very importantly, the South Centre provides support to developing countries to engage in international negotiations in different areas: trade, investment intellectual property, health, etc. This is a very important role that we play. In addition to this, we also try to enhance the capacity of our countries in dealing with some important issues, some of them I've just mentioned. So we do trainings and capacity building; taxation for instance became a very important issue for the South Centre in recent times in this regard.
Guancha: What would you say has been the greatest accomplishment of South Centre recently?
Correa: The South Centre has been able to help developing countries act together. In many instances, developing countries individually cannot influence the outcomes of international negotiations, therefore our role is to provide a platform for developing countries to discuss and understand their different interests. The ambition certainly is for us to get common positions in order to counterbalance the power of industrialized countries in many fora. I think this is an important achievement of the South Centre in many areas in which we have been able to support developing countries, by providing inputs for their participation in order for them to do tit in a more informed manner and influence the outcomes. We have done a lot of policy oriented research in many areas, which is being used by our countries as well. And when we look at the readership of our documents and books, we are very satisfied with the number of downloads. This an indicator of the impact that our publication have in addressing these issues which are so relevant for developing countries.
